+= activerecord_snapshot_view
+
+activerecord_snapshot_view provides simple management of snapshot materialized views for ActiveRecord
+
+a snapshot view is created by includeing the <tt>ActiveRecord::SnapshotView</tt> module into an ActiveRecord
+class. new versions of the snapshot are created using the <tt>new_version</tt> class method
+
+multiple versions of the view are maintained : there is
+a single active version, a working version, and one or more history tables [by default 1]
+
+the model's +table_name+ method is overwritten to reflect the active table, so all ActiveRecord
+model methods, like finders, work transparently. the caveat is that you must use the +table_name+ method
+to determine the current snapshot's table name when constructing SQL
+
+to use, <tt>include ActiveRecord::SnapshotView</tt> into your model :
+
+  class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
+    include ActiveRecord::SnapshotView
+  end
+
+there are class methods to get the different table names, and manipulate the version :
+
+* <tt>Foo.table_name</tt> : current active or working table name
+* <tt>Foo.working_table_name</tt> : current working table name
+* <tt>Foo.active_table_name</tt> : current active table name
+* <tt>Foo.new_version(&block)</tt> : run +block+ to create a new version of the table. during execution of the block <tt>Foo.table_name</tt> will return the working table name. if +block+ completes without raising an exception, or if the exception is an ActiveRecord::SnapshotView::SaveWork, then the working table will become permanently globally active
+
+the active table name is maintained as a row in an automatically created auxilliary table, 
+[<tt>foos_switch</tt> in the case of <tt>Foo</tt>], and this is updated in a transaction
+
+the presence of the historical tables [which are recycled] means that even though a transaction
+may advance_version, other transactions already in progress will continue to see the old 
+active table_name, and selects in progress will continue to completion without rollback [ provided
+they don't take longer to complete than it takes to recycle all history tables ]
+
+== Dependencies
+
+MySQL only at the moment
+
+== Note on Patches/Pull Requests
+ 
+* Fork the project.
+* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
+* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
+  future version unintentionally.
+* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
+  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but
+  bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
+* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
