If you want to switch to MySQL for this project, just type the following command line:

$ php symfony configure:database mysql://root:pa$$word@localhost/symfony_project
Change the DSN argument to match your settings (username, password, host, and database name) and then create the database with the command line or a web interface (as described in the model chapter).

You also need to modify config/databases.yml: delete database, change phptype from sqlite to mysql

all:
  propel:
    class: sfPropelDatabase
    param:
      phptype: mysql
      dsn: 'mysql://root:pa$$word@localhost/symfony_project'

Comments from "eustache": These changes must be done because the function execute() in the class sfConfigureDatabaseTask.class.php just updates the dns parameter, and leaves both the phptype and the database parameters unchanged.

What I did was to add this code after the line 82 of the sfConfigureDatabaseTask.class.php

    $param_array = split("://",$arguments['dsn']);
    $param["phptype"] = $param_array[0];
    $param_array = split("/",$param_array[1]);
    $param["database"] = $param_array[1];

and edit (in the same file):

-this line:
'param' => array_merge(isset($config[$options['env']][$options['name']]['param']) ? $config[$options['env']][$options['name']]['param'] : array(), array('dsn' => $arguments['dsn'])),
-to:
'param' => array_merge(isset($config[$options['env']][$options['name']]['param']) ? $config[$options['env']][$options['name']]['param'] : array(), array('dsn' => $arguments['dsn'],'phptype' => $param['phptype'],'database' => $param['database'])),

so each time you run:

 $ php symfony configure:database mysql://root:pa$$word@localhost/symfony_project

these values will be updated from that string
