+      # ==== Parameters
+      #
+      # * +id+ - This should be the id or an array of ids to be updated.

+      #
+      # ==== Examples
+      #
+      #   # Updates one record
+      #   Person.update(15, user_name: "Samuel", group: "expert")
+      #

+      #
+      # Note: Updating a large number of records will run an UPDATE
+      # query for each record, which may cause a performance issue.
+      # When running callbacks is not needed for each record update,

+      #
+      # This essentially finds the object (or multiple objects) with the given id, creates a new object
+      # from the attributes, and then calls destroy on it.
+      #
+      # ==== Parameters
+      #
+      # * +id+ - This should be the id or an array of ids to be destroyed.
+      #
+      # ==== Examples
+      #
+      #   # Destroy a single object
+      #   Todo.destroy(1)

+      #   # Destroy multiple objects

+      # executed, including any <tt>:dependent</tt> association options.
+      #
+      # You can delete multiple rows at once by passing an Array of <tt>id</tt>s.

+    #   account.id = 1

+    #   # => #<Account id: 1, email: 'account@example.com'>
+    #
+    # Attributes are reloaded from the database, and caches busted, in
+    # particular the associations cache and the QueryCache.
+    #
+    # If the record no longer exists in the database ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
+    # is raised. Otherwise, in addition to the in-place modification the method
+    # returns +self+ for convenience.
+    #
+    # The optional <tt>:lock</tt> flag option allows you to lock the reloaded record:
+    #
+    #   reload(lock: true) # reload with pessimistic locking
+    #
+    # Reloading is commonly used in test suites to test something is actually
+    # written to the database, or when some action modifies the corresponding
+    # row in the database but not the object in memory:
+    #
+    #   assert account.deposit!(25)
+    #   assert_equal 25, account.credit        # check it is updated in memory
+    #   assert_equal 25, account.reload.credit # check it is also persisted
+    #
+    # Another common use case is optimistic locking handling:
+    #
+    #   def with_optimistic_retry
+    #     begin
+    #       yield
+    #     rescue ActiveRecord::StaleObjectError
