Table in database not consistent with the entity schema

Question

I'm using Doctrine2 in my symfony2.8-based website to interact with the database. I created the table successfully using the command line tool (doctrine:schema:create).

But after running the command doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql and then doctrine:schema:update --force , I came to find out only the columns "id" and "name" had been created in my MySQL database.

I've checked the mapping data (annotations) on my entity and run the 2 latter commands again, but the table is still the same with the command line tool returning the message saying "Nothing to update - your database is already in sync with the current entity metadata."

Any suggestions or remarks?

Please find below how my entity look like:

<?php
namespace MainBundle\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

/**
 * Contact
 *
 * @ORM\Table(name="contact")

最后，我能够通过手动创建我的表来解决这个问题，然后在我现有的数据库中生成我的实体，如下所述： http ： //symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/doctrine/reverse_engineering.html
