This is an alternative implementation to #11050. The difference is that with this PR here, once @SequenceGeneratorDefinition is used in an inheritance tree of entities and/or mapped superclasses, this definition (and in particular, the sequence name) will be inherited by all child entity/mapped superclasses.

Before #10455, the rules how @SequenceGeneratorDefinition is inherited from parent entity/mapped superclasses were as follows:

  • Entity and mapped superclasses inherit the ID generator type (as given by @GeneratedValue) from their parent classes
  • @SequenceGeneratorDefinition, however, is not generally inherited
  • ... instead, a default sequence generator definition is created for every class when no explicit configuration is given. In this case, sequence names are based on the current class' table name.
  • Once a root entity has been identified, all subclasses inherit its sequence generator definition unchanged.

But, this has to be considered together with the quirky mapping driver behaviour that was deprecated in #10455: The mapping driver would not report public and protected fields from mapped superclasses, so these were virtually "pushed down" to the next entity classes.

That means @SequenceGeneratorDefinition on mapped superclasses would, in fact, be effective as-is for inheriting entity classes. This is what was covered by the tests in BasicInheritanceMappingTest that I marked with @group GH-10927.

My guess is that this PR will make it possible to opt-in to reportFieldsWhereDeclared (see #10455) and still get the same behaviour for mapped superclasses using @SequenceGeneratorDefinition as before. But maybe I don't see the full picture and all edge cases, so 👀 requested.

The GH10927Test test case validates the sequence names generated in a few cases. In fact, I wrote this test against the 2.15.x branch to make sure we get results that are consistent with the previous behaviour.

Thanks for working on this @mpdude

We use Postgres and gedmo/doctrine-extensions and we have pinned doctrine/orm to 2.15.5 to have a working solution.
I would love to upgrade to the latest version of doctrine/orm to use symfony 7.

Can you describe what are the next possible steps to get this PR or the take 1 merged?
Or is there any chance that the 2.15.x branch get's a new release to support symfony 7?

@beberlei maybe you have a preference which of these two PRs is better? We can also chat/Slack call and I could try to explain the differences

#10927 reported that #10455 broke the way how the default `@SequenceGeneratorDefinition` is created and inherited by subclasses for ID columns using `@GeneratedValue(strategy="SEQUENCE")`.

First, I had to understand how `@SequenceGeneratorDefinition` has been handled before #10455 when entity inheritance comes into play:

* Entity and mapped superclasses inherit the ID generator type (as given by `@GeneratedValue`) from their parent classes
* `@SequenceGeneratorDefinition`, however, is not generally inherited
* ... instead, a default sequence generator definition is created for every class when no explicit configuration is given. In this case, sequence names are based on the current class' table name.
* Once a root entity has been identified, all subclasses inherit its sequence generator definition unchanged.

#### Why did #10455 break this?

When I implemented #10455, I was mislead by two tests `BasicInheritanceMappingTest::testGeneratedValueFromMappedSuperclass` and `BasicInheritanceMappingTest::testMultipleMappedSuperclasses`.

These tests check the sequence generator definition that is inherited by an entity class from a mapped superclass, either directly or through an additional (intermediate) mapped superclass.

The tests expect the sequence generator definition on the entity _to be the same_ as on the base mapped superclass.

The reason why the tests worked before was the quirky behaviour of the annotation and attribute drivers that #10455 was aiming at: The drivers did not report the `@SequenceGeneratorDefinition` on the base mapped superclass where it was actually defined. Instead, they reported this `@SequenceGeneratorDefinition` for the entity class only.

This means the inheritance rules stated above did not take effect, since the ID field with the sequence generator was virtually pushed down to the entity class.

In #10455, I did not realize that these failing tests had to do with the quirky and changed mapping driver behaviour. Instead, I tried to "fix" the inheritance rules by passing along the sequence generator definition unchanged once the ID column had been defined.

#### Consequences of the change suggested here

This PR reverts the changes made to `@SequenceGeneratorDefinition` inheritance behaviour that were done in #10455.

This means that with the new "report fields where declared" driver mode (which is active in our functional tests) we can not expect the sequence generator definition to be inherited from mapped superclasses. The two test cases from `BasicInheritanceMappingTest` are removed.

I will leave a notice in #10455 to indicate that the new driver mode also affects sequence generator definitions.

The `GH10927Test` test case validates the sequence names generated in a few cases. In fact, I wrote this test against the `2.15.x` branch to make sure we get results that are consistent with the previous behaviour.

This also means `@SequenceGeneratorDefinition` on mapped superclasses is pointless: The mapped superclass does not make use of the definition itself (it has no table), and the setting is never inherited to child classes.
 
Fixes #10927. There is another implementation with slightly different inheritance semantics in #11052, in case the fix is not good enough and we'd need to review the topic later on.
