module ActiveRecord
  # = Active Record Timestamp
  # 
  # Active Record automatically timestamps create and update operations if the
  # table has fields named <tt>created_at/created_on</tt> or 
  # <tt>updated_at/updated_on</tt>.
  #
  # Timestamping can be turned off by setting:
  #
  #   <tt>ActiveRecord::Base.record_timestamps = false</tt>
  #
  # Timestamps are in the local timezone by default but you can use UTC by setting:
  #
  #   <tt>ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone = :utc</tt>
  #
  # == Time Zone aware attributes
  #
  # By default, ActiveRecord::Base keeps all the datetime columns time zone aware by executing following code.
  #
  #   ActiveRecord::Base.time_zone_aware_attributes = true
  #
  # This feature can easily be turned off by assigning value <tt>false</tt> .
  #
  # If your attributes are time zone aware and you desire to skip time zone conversion for certain attributes then you can do following:
  #
  #   Topic.skip_time_zone_conversion_for_attributes = [:written_on]

    # Please note that no validation is performed and no callbacks are executed.
    # If an attribute name is passed, that attribute is updated along with 
    # updated_at/on attributes.

    #   product.touch(:designed_at) # updates the designed_at attribute and updated_at/on
