# Active Record objects don't specify their attributes directly, but rather infer them from the table definition with
# which they're linked. Adding, removing, and changing attributes and their type is done directly in the database. Any change
# is instantly reflected in the Active Record objects. The mapping that binds a given Active Record class to a certain
# database table will happen automatically in most common cases, but can be overwritten for the uncommon ones.
#
# See the mapping rules in table_name and the full example in link:files/README.html for more insight.
#
# == Creation
#
# Active Records accept constructor parameters either in a hash or as a block. The hash method is especially useful when
# you're receiving the data from somewhere else, like an HTTP request. It works like this:
#
# user = User.new(:name => "David", :occupation => "Code Artist")
# user.name # => "David"
#
# You can also use block initialization:
#
# user = User.new do |u|
# u.name = "David"
# u.occupation = "Code Artist"
# end
#
# And of course you can just create a bare object and specify the attributes after the fact:
#
# user = User.new
# user.name = "David"
# user.occupation = "Code Artist"
#
# == Conditions
#
# Conditions can either be specified as a string, array, or hash representing the WHERE-part of an SQL statement.
# The array form is to be used when the condition input is tainted and requires sanitization. The string form can
# be used for statements that don't involve tainted data. The hash form works much like the array form, except
# only equality and range is possible. Examples:
#
# class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# def self.authenticate_unsafely(user_name, password)
# find(:first, :conditions => "user_name = '#{user_name}' AND password = '#{password}'")
# end
#
# def self.authenticate_safely(user_name, password)
# find(:first, :conditions => [ "user_name = ? AND password = ?", user_name, password ])
# end
#
# def self.authenticate_safely_simply(user_name, password)
# find(:first, :conditions => { :user_name => user_name, :password => password })
# end
# end
#
# The authenticate_unsafely method inserts the parameters directly into the query and is thus susceptible to SQL-injection
# attacks if the user_name and +password+ parameters come directly from an HTTP request. The authenticate_safely and
# authenticate_safely_simply both will sanitize the user_name and +password+ before inserting them in the query,
# which will ensure that an attacker can't escape the query and fake the login (or worse).
#
# When using multiple parameters in the conditions, it can easily become hard to read exactly what the fourth or fifth
# question mark is supposed to represent. In those cases, you can resort to named bind variables instead. That's done by replacing
# the question marks with symbols and supplying a hash with values for the matching symbol keys:
#
# Company.find(:first, [
# "id = :id AND name = :name AND division = :division AND created_at > :accounting_date",
# { :id => 3, :name => "37signals", :division => "First", :accounting_date => '2005-01-01' }
# ])
#
# Similarly, a simple hash without a statement will generate conditions based on equality with the SQL AND
# operator. For instance:
#
# Student.find(:all, :conditions => { :first_name => "Harvey", :status => 1 })
# Student.find(:all, :conditions => params[:student])
#
# A range may be used in the hash to use the SQL BETWEEN operator:
#
# Student.find(:all, :conditions => { :grade => 9..12 })
#
# == Overwriting default accessors
#
# All column values are automatically available through basic accessors on the Active Record object, but sometimes you
# want to specialize this behavior. This can be done by overwriting the default accessors (using the same
# name as the attribute) and calling read_attribute(attr_name) and write_attribute(attr_name, value) to actually change things.
# Example:
#
# class Song < ActiveRecord::Base
# # Uses an integer of seconds to hold the length of the song
#
# def length=(minutes)
# write_attribute(:length, minutes * 60)
# end
#
# def length
# read_attribute(:length) / 60
# end
# end
#
# You can alternatively use self[:attribute]=(value) and self[:attribute] instead of write_attribute(:attribute, value) and
# read_attribute(:attribute) as a shorter form.
#
# == Accessing attributes before they have been typecasted
#
# Sometimes you want to be able to read the raw attribute data without having the column-determined typecast run its course first.
# That can be done by using the _before_type_cast accessors that all attributes have. For example, if your Account model
# has a balance attribute, you can call account.balance_before_type_cast or account.id_before_type_cast.
#
# This is especially useful in validation situations where the user might supply a string for an integer field and you want to display
# the original string back in an error message. Accessing the attribute normally would typecast the string to 0, which isn't what you
# want.
#
# == Dynamic attribute-based finders
#
# Dynamic attribute-based finders are a cleaner way of getting (and/or creating) objects by simple queries without turning to SQL. They work by
# appending the name of an attribute to find_by_ or find_all_by_, so you get finders like Person.find_by_user_name,
# Person.find_all_by_last_name, Payment.find_by_transaction_id. So instead of writing
# Person.find(:first, ["user_name = ?", user_name]), you just do Person.find_by_user_name(user_name).
# And instead of writing Person.find(:all, ["last_name = ?", last_name]), you just do Person.find_all_by_last_name(last_name).
#
# It's also possible to use multiple attributes in the same find by separating them with "_and_", so you get finders like
# Person.find_by_user_name_and_password or even Payment.find_by_purchaser_and_state_and_country. So instead of writing
# Person.find(:first, ["user_name = ? AND password = ?", user_name, password]), you just do
# Person.find_by_user_name_and_password(user_name, password).
#
# It's even possible to use all the additional parameters to find. For example, the full interface for Payment.find_all_by_amount
# is actually Payment.find_all_by_amount(amount, options). And the full interface to Person.find_by_user_name is
# actually Person.find_by_user_name(user_name, options). So you could call Payment.find_all_by_amount(50, :order => "created_on").
#
# The same dynamic finder style can be used to create the object if it doesn't already exist. This dynamic finder is called with
# find_or_create_by_ and will return the object if it already exists and otherwise creates it, then returns it. Example:
#
# # No 'Summer' tag exists
# Tag.find_or_create_by_name("Summer") # equal to Tag.create(:name => "Summer")
#
# # Now the 'Summer' tag does exist
# Tag.find_or_create_by_name("Summer") # equal to Tag.find_by_name("Summer")
#
# Use the find_or_initialize_by_ finder if you want to return a new record without saving it first. Example:
#
# # No 'Winter' tag exists
# winter = Tag.find_or_initialize_by_name("Winter")
# winter.new_record? # true
#
# To find by a subset of the attributes to be used for instantiating a new object, pass a hash instead of
# a list of parameters. For example:
#
# Tag.find_or_create_by_name(:name => "rails", :creator => current_user)
#
# That will either find an existing tag named "rails", or create a new one while setting the user that created it.
#
# == Saving arrays, hashes, and other non-mappable objects in text columns
#
# Active Record can serialize any object in text columns using YAML. To do so, you must specify this with a call to the class method +serialize+.
# This makes it possible to store arrays, hashes, and other non-mappable objects without doing any additional work. Example:
#
# class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# serialize :preferences
# end
#
# user = User.create(:preferences => { "background" => "black", "display" => large })
# User.find(user.id).preferences # => { "background" => "black", "display" => large }
#
# You can also specify a class option as the second parameter that'll raise an exception if a serialized object is retrieved as a
# descendent of a class not in the hierarchy. Example:
#
# class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# serialize :preferences, Hash
# end
#
# user = User.create(:preferences => %w( one two three ))
# User.find(user.id).preferences # raises SerializationTypeMismatch
#
# == Single table inheritance
#
# Active Record allows inheritance by storing the name of the class in a column that by default is named "type" (can be changed
# by overwriting Base.inheritance_column). This means that an inheritance looking like this:
#
# class Company < ActiveRecord::Base; end
# class Firm < Company; end
# class Client < Company; end
# class PriorityClient < Client; end
#
# When you do Firm.create(:name => "37signals"), this record will be saved in the companies table with type = "Firm". You can then
# fetch this row again using Company.find(:first, "name = '37signals'") and it will return a Firm object.
#
# If you don't have a type column defined in your table, single-table inheritance won't be triggered. In that case, it'll work just
# like normal subclasses with no special magic for differentiating between them or reloading the right type with find.
#
# Note, all the attributes for all the cases are kept in the same table. Read more:
# http://www.martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/singleTableInheritance.html
#
# == Connection to multiple databases in different models
#
# Connections are usually created through ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection and retrieved by ActiveRecord::Base.connection.
# All classes inheriting from ActiveRecord::Base will use this connection. But you can also set a class-specific connection.
# For example, if Course is an ActiveRecord::Base, but resides in a different database, you can just say Course.establish_connection
# and Course *and all its subclasses* will use this connection instead.
#
# This feature is implemented by keeping a connection pool in ActiveRecord::Base that is a Hash indexed by the class. If a connection is
# requested, the retrieve_connection method will go up the class-hierarchy until a connection is found in the connection pool.
#
# == Exceptions
#
# * +ActiveRecordError+ -- generic error class and superclass of all other errors raised by Active Record
# * +AdapterNotSpecified+ -- the configuration hash used in establish_connection didn't include an
# :adapter key.
# * +AdapterNotFound+ -- the :adapter key used in establish_connection specified a non-existent adapter
# (or a bad spelling of an existing one).
# * +AssociationTypeMismatch+ -- the object assigned to the association wasn't of the type specified in the association definition.
# * +SerializationTypeMismatch+ -- the serialized object wasn't of the class specified as the second parameter.
# * +ConnectionNotEstablished+ -- no connection has been established. Use establish_connection before querying.
# * +RecordNotFound+ -- no record responded to the find* method.
# Either the row with the given ID doesn't exist or the row didn't meet the additional restrictions.
# * +StatementInvalid+ -- the database server rejected the SQL statement. The precise error is added in the message.
# Either the record with the given ID doesn't exist or the record didn't meet the additional restrictions.
# * +MultiparameterAssignmentErrors+ -- collection of errors that occurred during a mass assignment using the
# +attributes=+ method. The +errors+ property of this exception contains an array of +AttributeAssignmentError+
# objects that should be inspected to determine which attributes triggered the errors.
# * +AttributeAssignmentError+ -- an error occurred while doing a mass assignment through the +attributes=+ method.
# You can inspect the +attribute+ property of the exception object to determine which attribute triggered the error.
#
# *Note*: The attributes listed are class-level attributes (accessible from both the class and instance level).
# So it's possible to assign a logger to the class through Base.logger= which will then be used by all
# instances in the current object space.
class Base
# Accepts a logger conforming to the interface of Log4r or the default Ruby 1.8+ Logger class, which is then passed
# on to any new database connections made and which can be retrieved on both a class and instance level by calling +logger+.

# Find operates with three different retrieval approaches:
#
# * Find by id: This can either be a specific id (1), a list of ids (1, 5, 6), or an array of ids ([5, 6, 10]).
# If no record can be found for all of the listed ids, then RecordNotFound will be raised.
# * Find first: This will return the first record matched by the options used. These options can either be specific
# conditions or merely an order. If no record can be matched, nil is returned.
# * Find all: This will return all the records matched by the options used. If no records are found, an empty array is returned.
#
# All approaches accept an options hash as their last parameter. The options are:
#
# * :conditions: An SQL fragment like "administrator = 1" or [ "user_name = ?", username ]. See conditions in the intro.
# * :order: An SQL fragment like "created_at DESC, name".
# * :group: An attribute name by which the result should be grouped. Uses the GROUP BY SQL-clause.
# * :limit: An integer determining the limit on the number of rows that should be returned.
# * :offset: An integer determining the offset from where the rows should be fetched. So at 5, it would skip rows 0 through 4.
# * :joins: An SQL fragment for additional joins like "LEFT JOIN comments ON comments.post_id = id" (Rarely needed).
# Accepts named associations in the form of :include, which will perform an INNER JOIN on the associated table(s).
# The records will be returned read-only since they will have attributes that do not correspond to the table's columns.
# Pass :readonly => false to override.
# See adding joins for associations under Associations.
# * :include: Names associations that should be loaded alongside using LEFT OUTER JOINs. The symbols named refer
# to already defined associations. See eager loading under Associations.
# * :select: By default, this is * as in SELECT * FROM, but can be changed if you, for example, want to do a join but not
# include the joined columns.
# * :from: By default, this is the table name of the class, but can be changed to an alternate table name (or even the name
# of a database view).
# * :readonly: Mark the returned records read-only so they cannot be saved or updated.
# * :lock: An SQL fragment like "FOR UPDATE" or "LOCK IN SHARE MODE".
# :lock => true gives connection's default exclusive lock, usually "FOR UPDATE".
#
# Examples for find by id:
# Person.find(1) # returns the object for ID = 1
# Person.find(1, 2, 6) # returns an array for objects with IDs in (1, 2, 6)
# Person.find([7, 17]) # returns an array for objects with IDs in (7, 17)
# Person.find([1]) # returns an array for the object with ID = 1
# Person.find(1, :conditions => "administrator = 1", :order => "created_on DESC")
#
# Note that returned records may not be in the same order as the ids you
# provide since database rows are unordered. Give an explicit :order
# to ensure the results are sorted.
#
# Examples for find first:
# Person.find(:first) # returns the first object fetched by SELECT * FROM people
# Person.find(:first, :conditions => [ "user_name = ?", user_name])
# Person.find(:first, :order => "created_on DESC", :offset => 5)
#
# Examples for find all:
# Person.find(:all) # returns an array of objects for all the rows fetched by SELECT * FROM people
# Person.find(:all, :conditions => [ "category IN (?)", categories], :limit => 50)
# Person.find(:all, :offset => 10, :limit => 10)
# Person.find(:all, :include => [ :account, :friends ])
# Person.find(:all, :group => "category")
#
# Example for find with a lock. Imagine two concurrent transactions:
# each will read person.visits == 2, add 1 to it, and save, resulting
# in two saves of person.visits = 3. By locking the row, the second
# transaction has to wait until the first is finished; we get the
# expected person.visits == 4.
# Person.transaction do
# person = Person.find(1, :lock => true)
# person.visits += 1
# person.save!
# end
def find(*args)

# Note: we extract any :joins option with a non-string value from the options, and turn it into
# an internal option :ar_joins. This allows code called from here to find the ar_joins, and
# it bypasses marking the result as read_only.
# A normal string join marks the result as read-only because it contains attributes from joined tables
# which are not in the base table and therefore prevent the result from being saved.
# In the case of an ar_join, the JoinDependency created to instantiate the results eliminates these
# bogus attributes. See JoinDependency#instantiate, and JoinBase#instantiate in associations.rb.

#
# +counter_name+ The name of the field that should be decremented

# Attributes named in this macro are protected from mass-assignment, such as new(attributes) and

# methods to do assignment. This is meant to protect sensitive attributes from being overwritten by URL/form hackers. Example:
#
# class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
# attr_protected :credit_rating
# end
#
# customer = Customer.new("name" => David, "credit_rating" => "Excellent")
# customer.credit_rating # => nil
# customer.attributes = { "description" => "Jolly fellow", "credit_rating" => "Superb" }
# customer.credit_rating # => nil
#
# customer.credit_rating = "Average"
# customer.credit_rating # => "Average"

# Similar to the attr_protected macro, this protects attributes of your model from mass-assignment,
# such as new(attributes) and attributes=(attributes)
# however, it does it in the opposite way. This locks all attributes and only allows access to the
# attributes specified. Assignment to attributes not in this list will be ignored and need to be set
# using the direct writer methods instead. This is meant to protect sensitive attributes from being
# overwritten by URL/form hackers. If you'd rather start from an all-open default and restrict
# attributes as needed, have a look at attr_protected.

# Nested classes are given table names prefixed by the singular form of

# file class table_name
# invoice.rb Invoice invoices
# invoice/lineitem.rb Invoice::Lineitem invoice_lineitems

# Additionally, the class-level table_name_prefix is prepended and the
# table_name_suffix is appended. So if you have "myapp_" as a prefix,
# the table name guess for an Invoice class becomes "myapp_invoices".
# Invoice::Lineitem becomes "myapp_invoice_lineitems".
#
# You can also overwrite this class method to allow for unguessable

# written_on (a date type) with Date.new("2004", "6", "24"). You can also specify a typecast character in the
# parentheses to have the parameters typecasted before they're used in the constructor. Use i for Fixnum, f for Float,
# s for String, and a for Array. If all the values for a given attribute are empty, the attribute will be set to nil.
