Research direction

Start by finding the PHP code that exposes connection details and compare it with the Java method that returns a JDBC connection URL. Add the requested getPdoDsn and getDoctrineDatabaseUrl features for the supported RDBMS examples, then verify that each returns the expected connection URL.
