module ActiveRecord #:nodoc:
# = Active Record
#
# 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)
# where("user_name = '#{user_name}' AND password = '#{password}'").first
# end
#
# def self.authenticate_safely(user_name, password)
# where("user_name = ? AND password = ?", user_name, password).first
# end
#
# def self.authenticate_safely_simply(user_name, password)
# where(:user_name => user_name, :password => password).first
# 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.where(
# "id = :id AND name = :name AND division = :division AND created_at > :accounting_date",
# { :id => 3, :name => "37signals", :division => "First", :accounting_date => '2005-01-01' }
# ).first
#
# Similarly, a simple hash without a statement will generate conditions based on equality with the SQL AND
# operator. For instance:
#
# Student.where(:first_name => "Harvey", :status => 1)
# Student.where(params[:student])
#
# A range may be used in the hash to use the SQL BETWEEN operator:
#
# Student.where(:grade => 9..12)
#
# An array may be used in the hash to use the SQL IN operator:
#
# Student.where(:grade => [9,11,12])
#
# When joining tables, nested hashes or keys written in the form 'table_name.column_name' can be used to qualify the table name of a
# particular condition. For instance:
#
# Student.joins(:schools).where(:schools => { :type => 'public' })
# Student.joins(:schools).where('schools.type' => 'public' )
#
# == 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.to_i * 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.
#
# == Attribute query methods
#
# In addition to the basic accessors, query methods are also automatically available on the Active Record object.
# Query methods allow you to test whether an attribute value is present.
#
# For example, an Active Record User with the name attribute has a name? method that you can call
# to determine whether the user has a name:
#
# user = User.new(:name => "David")
# user.name? # => true
#
# anonymous = User.new(:name => "")
# anonymous.name? # => false
#
# == 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_, find_last_by_, or find_all_by_, so you get finders like Person.find_by_user_name,
# Person.find_all_by_last_name, and Payment.find_by_transaction_id. So instead of writing
# Person.where(:user_name => user_name).first, you just do Person.find_by_user_name(user_name).
# And instead of writing Person.where(:last_name => last_name).all, 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.where(:user_name => user_name, :password => password).first, you just do
# Person.find_by_user_name_and_password(user_name, password).
#
# It's even possible to call these dynamic finder methods on relations and named scopes. For example :
#
# Payment.order("created_on").find_all_by_amount(50)
# Payment.pending.find_last_by_amount(100)
#
# 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. Protected attributes won't be set unless they are given in a block. For 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")
#
# # Now 'Bob' exist and is an 'admin'
# User.find_or_create_by_name('Bob', :age => 40) { |u| u.admin = true }
#
# Use the find_or_initialize_by_ finder if you want to return a new record without saving it first. Protected attributes won't be set unless they are given in a block. For 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
# descendant 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
#
# == 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 false .
#
# 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]
#
#
# == 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.where(:name => '37signals').first 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 of 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. Some +find+ calls do not raise this exception to signal
# nothing was found, please check its documentation for further details.
# * StatementInvalid - The database server rejected the SQL statement. The precise error is added in the message.
# * 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.

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