Hello @SimonMellerin ! Your alternative looks promising, but can you anonymize a single entity with DbToolsBundle? And if so, how to do it?
The main usage of this bundle was to do:

$this->get('superbrave_gdpr.anonymizer')->anonymize($object);

to anonymize an entity on-the-fly e.g. when the user deletes his account.

Is there some API to do the same with DbToolsBundle? It seems to me that it only works with a batch update of the table (so anonymizing all the entities that it contains).

Thanks!

Hi,

You're right, I read this project documentation a bit quickly.

The DbToolsBundle can only anonymize a backup file or a database but not a single entity. So, it doesn't suit your use case sorry.

Ok thanks, I think it would be a nice feature to add to your bundle! 👍 Perhaps adding a condition in the queries so that it can be called only on the table lines matching some specific fields, like id. I'm searching for an alternative to this bundle that is not maintained anymore.

It could be! In the future, we plan to add a more friendly API to ease custom use of the lib. So this kind of feature can be considered .

Feel free to create an issue on the DbToolsBundle repo

Done! Thanks for you help 👍
