    # fields are retrieved:
    #
    #   Model.select(:field)

    # Returns a new relation, which is the result of filtering the current relation
    # according to the conditions in the arguments.
    #
    # #where accepts conditions in one of several formats. In the examples below, the resulting
    # SQL is given as an illustration; the actual query generated may be different depending
    # on the database adapter.
    #
    # === string
    #
    # A single string, without additional arguments, is passed to the query
    # constructor as a SQL fragment, and used in the where clause of the query.
    #
    #    Client.where("orders_count = '2'")
    #    # SELECT * from clients where orders_count = '2';
    #
    # Note that building your own string from user input may expose your application
    # to injection attacks if not done properly. As an alternative, it is recommended
    # to use one of the following methods.
    #
    # === array
    #
    # If an array is passed, then the first element of the array is treated as a template, and
    # the remaining elements are inserted into the template to generate the condition.
    # Active Record takes care of building the query to avoid injection attacks, and will
    # convert from the ruby type to the database type where needed. Elements are inserted
    # into the string in the order in which they appear.
    #
    #   User.where(["name = ? and email = ?", "Joe", "joe@example.com"])
    #   # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'Joe' AND email = 'joe@example.com';
    #
    # Alternatively, you can use named placeholders in the template, and pass a hash as the
    # second element of the array. The names in the template are replaced with the corresponding
    # values from the hash.
    #
    #   User.where(["name = :name and email = :email", { name: "Joe", email: "joe@example.com" }])
    #   # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'Joe' AND email = 'joe@example.com';
    #
    # This can make for more readable code in complex queries.
    #
    # Lastly, you can use sprintf-style % escapes in the template. This works slightly differently
    # than the previous methods; you are responsible for ensuring that the values in the template
    # are properly quoted. The values are passed to the connector for quoting, but the caller
    # is responsible for ensuring they are enclosed in quotes in the resulting SQL. After quoting,
    # the values are inserted using the same escapes as the Ruby core method <tt>Kernel::sprintf</tt>.
    #
    #   User.where(["name = '%s' and email = '%s'", "Joe", "joe@example.com"])
    #   # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'Joe' AND email = 'joe@example.com';
    #
    # If #where is called with multiple arguments, these are treated as if they were passed as
    # the elements of a single array.
    #
    #   User.where("name = :name and email = :email", { name: "Joe", email: "joe@example.com" })
    #   # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'Joe' AND email = 'joe@example.com';
    #
    # When using strings to specify conditions, you can use any operator available from
    # the database. While this provides the most flexibility, you can also unintentionally introduce
    # dependencies on the underlying database. If your code is intended for general consumption,
    # test with multiple database backends.
    #
    # === hash
    #
    # #where will also accept a hash condition, in which the keys are fields and the values
    # are values to be searched for.
    #
    # Fields can be symbols or strings. Values can be single values, arrays, or ranges.
    #
    #    User.where({ name: "Joe", email: "joe@example.com" })
    #    # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'Joe' AND email = 'joe@example.com'
    #
    #    User.where({ name: ["Alice", "Bob"]})
    #    # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name IN ('Alice', 'Bob')
    #
    #    User.where({ created_at: (Time.now.midnight - 1.day)..Time.now.midnight })
    #    # SELECT * FROM users WHERE (created_at BETWEEN '2012-06-09 07:00:00.000000' AND '2012-06-10 07:00:00.000000')
    #
    # In the case of a belongs_to relationship, an association key can be used
    # to specify the model if an ActiveRecord object is used as the value.
    #
    #    author = Author.find(1)
    #
    #    # The following queries will be equivalent:
    #    Post.where(author: author)
    #    Post.where(author_id: author)
    #
    # This also works with polymorphic belongs_to relationships:
    #
    #    treasure = Treasure.create(name: 'gold coins')
    #    treasure.price_estimates << PriceEstimate.create(price: 125)
    #
    #    # The following queries will be equivalent:
    #    PriceEstimate.where(estimate_of: treasure)
    #    PriceEstimate.where(estimate_of_type: 'Treasure', estimate_of_id: treasure)
    #
    # === Joins
    #
    # If the relation is the result of a join, you may create a condition which uses any of the
    # tables in the join. For string and array conditions, use the table name in the condition.
    #
    #    User.joins(:posts).where("posts.created_at < ?", Time.now)
    #
    # For hash conditions, you can either use the table name in the key, or use a sub-hash.
    #
    #    User.joins(:posts).where({ "posts.published" => true })
    #    User.joins(:posts).where({ posts: { published: true } })
    #
    # === empty condition
    #
    # If the condition returns true for blank?, then where is a no-op and returns the current relation.
