module ActiveRecord
  # Active Records will automatically record creation and/or update timestamps of database objects
  # if fields of the names created_at/created_on or updated_at/updated_on are present. This module is
  # automatically included, so you don't need to do that manually.
  #
  # This behavior can be turned off by setting <tt>ActiveRecord::Base.record_timestamps = false</tt>.
  # This behavior by default uses local time, but can use UTC by setting <tt>ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone = :utc</tt>
