+
+== Installation
+
+  gem install sequel
+  
+== A Short Example
+
+  require 'sequel'
+  
+  DB = Sequel.sqlite # memory database
+  
+  DB.create_table :items do
+    primary_key :id
+    String :name
+    Float :price
+  end
+  
+  items = DB[:items] # Create a dataset
+  
+  # Populate the table
+  items.insert(:name => 'abc', :price => rand * 100)
+  items.insert(:name => 'def', :price => rand * 100)
+  items.insert(:name => 'ghi', :price => rand * 100)
+  
+  # Print out the number of records
+  puts "Item count: #{items.count}"
+  
+  # Print out the average price
+  puts "The average price is: #{items.avg(:price)}"
+
+== The Sequel Console
+
+Sequel includes an IRB console for quick access to databases (usually referred to as <tt>bin/sequel</tt>). You can use it like this:
+
+  sequel sqlite://test.db # test.db in current directory
+
+You get an IRB session with the database object stored in DB.
+
+In addition to providing an IRB shell (the default behavior), bin/sequel also has support for migrating databases, dumping schema migrations, and copying databases.  See the {bin/sequel guide}[rdoc-ref:doc/bin_sequel.rdoc] for more details.
+
+== An Introduction
+
+Sequel is designed to take the hassle away from connecting to databases and manipulating them. Sequel deals with all the boring stuff like maintaining connections, formatting SQL correctly and fetching records so you can concentrate on your application.
+
+Sequel uses the concept of datasets to retrieve data. A Dataset object encapsulates an SQL query and supports chainability, letting you fetch data using a convenient Ruby DSL that is both concise and flexible.
+
+For example, the following one-liner returns the average GDP for countries in the middle east region:
+
+  DB[:countries].filter(:region => 'Middle East').avg(:GDP)
+  
+Which is equivalent to:
+
+  SELECT avg(GDP) FROM countries WHERE region = 'Middle East'
+
+Since datasets retrieve records only when needed, they can be stored and later reused. Records are fetched as hashes (or custom model objects), and are accessed using an +Enumerable+ interface:
+
+  middle_east = DB[:countries].filter(:region => 'Middle East')
+  middle_east.order(:name).each{|r| puts r[:name]}
+  
+Sequel also offers convenience methods for extracting data from Datasets, such as an extended +map+ method:
+
+  middle_east.map(:name) #=> ['Egypt', 'Turkey', 'Israel', ...]
+  
+Or getting results as a hash via +to_hash+, with one column as key and another as value:
+
+  middle_east.to_hash(:name, :area) #=> {'Israel' => 20000, 'Turkey' => 120000, ...}
+
+== Getting Started
+
+=== Connecting to a database
+
+To connect to a database you simply provide <tt>Sequel.connect</tt> with a URL:
+
+  require 'sequel'
+  DB = Sequel.connect('sqlite://blog.db')
+  
+The connection URL can also include such stuff as the user name, password, and port:
+
+  DB = Sequel.connect('postgres://user:password@host:port/database_name')
+
+You can also specify optional parameters, such as the connection pool size, or loggers for logging SQL queries:
+
+  DB = Sequel.connect("postgres://user:password@host:port/database_name",
+    :max_connections => 10, :logger => Logger.new('log/db.log'))
+
+You can specify a block to connect, which will disconnect from the database after it completes:
+
+  Sequel.connect('postgres://user:password@host:port/database_name'){|db| db[:posts].delete}
+
+=== The DB convention
+
+Throughout Sequel's documentation, you will see the +DB+ constant used to refer to the Sequel::Database instance you create.
+This reflects the recommendation that for an app with a single Sequel::Database instance, the Sequel convention is to store
+the instance in the +DB+ constant.  This is just a convention, it's not required, but it is recommended.
+
+Note that some frameworks that use Sequel may create the Sequel::Database instance for you, and you might not know
+how to access it.  In most cases, you can access the Sequel::Database instance through <tt>Sequel::Model.db</tt>.
+
+=== Arbitrary SQL queries
+
+You can execute arbitrary SQL code using <tt>Database#run</tt>:
+
+  DB.run("create table t (a text, b text)")
+  DB.run("insert into t values ('a', 'b')")
+
+You can also create datasets based on raw SQL:
+
+  dataset = DB['select id from items']
+  dataset.count # will return the number of records in the result set
+  dataset.map(:id) # will return an array containing all values of the id column in the result set
+
+You can also fetch records with raw SQL through the dataset:
+
+  DB['select * from items'].each do |row|
+    p row
+  end
+
+You can use placeholders in your SQL string as well:
+
+  name = 'Jim'
+  DB['select * from items where name = ?', name].each do |row|
+    p row
+  end
+
+=== Getting Dataset Instances
+
+Datasets are the primary way records are retrieved and manipulated.  They are generally created via the <tt>Database#from</tt> or <tt>Database#[]</tt> methods:
+
+  posts = DB.from(:posts)
+  posts = DB[:posts] # same
+
+Datasets will only fetch records when you tell them to. They can be manipulated to filter records, change ordering, join tables, etc..
+
+=== Retrieving Records
+
+You can retrieve all records by using the +all+ method:
+
+  posts.all
+  # SELECT * FROM posts
+
+The all method returns an array of hashes, where each hash corresponds to a record.
+
+You can also iterate through records one at a time using +each+:
+
+  posts.each{|row| p row}
+
+Or perform more advanced stuff:
+
+  names_and_dates = posts.map([:name, :date])
+  old_posts, recent_posts = posts.partition{|r| r[:date] < Date.today - 7}
+  
+You can also retrieve the first record in a dataset:
+
+  posts.first
+  # SELECT * FROM posts LIMIT 1
+  
+Or retrieve a single record with a specific value:
+
+  posts[:id => 1]
+  # SELECT * FROM posts WHERE id = 1 LIMIT 1
+  
+If the dataset is ordered, you can also ask for the last record:
+
+  posts.order(:stamp).last
+  # SELECT * FROM posts ORDER BY stamp DESC LIMIT 1
+  
+=== Filtering Records
+
+An easy way to filter records is to provide a hash of values to match to +where+:
+
+  my_posts = posts.where(:category => 'ruby', :author => 'david')
+  # WHERE category = 'ruby' AND author = 'david'
+  
+You can also specify ranges:
+
+  my_posts = posts.where(:stamp => (Date.today - 14)..(Date.today - 7))
+  # WHERE stamp >= '2010-06-30' AND stamp <= '2010-07-07'
+  
+Or arrays of values:
+
+  my_posts = posts.where(:category => ['ruby', 'postgres', 'linux'])
+  # WHERE category IN ('ruby', 'postgres', 'linux')
+  
+Sequel also accepts expressions:
+  
+  my_posts = posts.where{stamp > Date.today << 1}
+  # WHERE stamp > '2010-06-14'
+  
+Some adapters will also let you specify Regexps:
+
+  my_posts = posts.where(:category => /ruby/i)
+  # WHERE category ~* 'ruby'
+  
+You can also use an inverse filter via +exclude+:
+
+  my_posts = posts.exclude(:category => ['ruby', 'postgres', 'linux'])
+  # WHERE category NOT IN ('ruby', 'postgres', 'linux')
+
+You can also specify a custom WHERE clause using a string:
+
+  posts.where('stamp IS NOT NULL')
+  # WHERE stamp IS NOT NULL
+
+You can use parameters in your string, as well:
+
+  author_name = 'JKR'
+  posts.where('(stamp < ?) AND (author != ?)', Date.today - 3, author_name)
+  # WHERE (stamp < '2010-07-11') AND (author != 'JKR')
+
+Datasets can also be used as subqueries:
+
+  DB[:items].where('price > ?', DB[:items].select{avg(price) + 100})
+  # WHERE price > (SELECT avg(price) + 100 FROM items)
+
+After filtering, you can retrieve the matching records by using any of the retrieval methods:
+
+  my_posts.each{|row| p row}
+  
+See the {Dataset Filtering}[rdoc-ref:doc/dataset_filtering.rdoc] file for more details.
+
+=== Security
+
+Designing apps with security in mind is a best practice.
+Please read the {Security Guide}[rdoc-ref:doc/security.rdoc] for details on security
+issues that you should be aware of when using Sequel.
+
+=== Summarizing Records
+
+Counting records is easy using +count+:
+
+  posts.where(:category.like('%ruby%')).count
+  # SELECT COUNT(*) FROM posts WHERE category LIKE '%ruby%'
+
+And you can also query maximum/minimum values via +max+ and +min+:
+
+  max = DB[:history].max(:value)
+  # SELECT max(value) FROM history
+  
+  min = DB[:history].min(:value)
+  # SELECT min(value) FROM history
+  
+Or calculate a sum or average via +sum+ and +avg+:
+
+  sum = DB[:items].sum(:price)
+  # SELECT sum(price) FROM items
+  avg = DB[:items].avg(:price)
+  # SELECT avg(price) FROM items
+  
+=== Ordering Records
+
+Ordering datasets is simple using +order+:
+
+  posts.order(:stamp)
+  # ORDER BY stamp
+  posts.order(:stamp, :name)
+  # ORDER BY stamp, name
+
+Chaining +order+ doesn't work the same as +where+:
+
+  posts.order(:stamp).order(:name)
+  # ORDER BY name
+
+The +order_append+ method chains this way, though:
+
+  posts.order(:stamp).order_append(:name)
+  # ORDER BY stamp, name
+  
+The +order_prepend+ method can be used as well:
+
+  posts.order(:stamp).order_prepend(:name)
+  # ORDER BY name, stamp
+  
+You can also specify descending order:
+
+  posts.reverse_order(:stamp)
+  # ORDER BY stamp DESC
+  posts.order(Sequel.desc(:stamp))
+  # ORDER BY stamp DESC
+
+=== Core Extensions
+
+Note the use of <tt>Sequel.desc(:stamp)</tt> in the above example.  Much of Sequel's DSL uses this style, calling methods on the Sequel module that return SQL expression objects.  Sequel also ships with a {core_extensions extension}[rdoc-ref:doc/core_extensions.rdoc]) that integrates Sequel's DSL better into the ruby language, allowing you to write:
+
+  :stamp.desc
+
+instead of:
+
+  Sequel.desc(:stamp)
+
+=== Selecting Columns
+
+Selecting specific columns to be returned is also simple using +select+:
+
+  posts.select(:stamp)
+  # SELECT stamp FROM posts
+  posts.select(:stamp, :name)
+  # SELECT stamp, name FROM posts
+
+Chaining +select+ works like +order+, not +where+:
+
+  posts.select(:stamp).select(:name)
+  # SELECT name FROM posts
+
+As you might expect, there is an +order_append+ equivalent for +select+ called +select_append+:
+
+  posts.select(:stamp).select_append(:name)
+  # SELECT stamp, name FROM posts
+  
+=== Deleting Records
+
+Deleting records from the table is done with +delete+:
+
+  posts.where('stamp < ?', Date.today - 3).delete
+  # DELETE FROM posts WHERE stamp < '2010-07-11'
+  
+Be very careful when deleting, as +delete+ affects all rows in the dataset.
+Call +where+ first and +delete+ second:
+
+  # DO THIS:
+  posts.where('stamp < ?', Date.today - 7).delete
+  # NOT THIS:
+  posts.delete.where('stamp < ?', Date.today - 7)
+
+=== Inserting Records
+
+Inserting records into the table is done with +insert+:
+
+  posts.insert(:category => 'ruby', :author => 'david')
+  # INSERT INTO posts (category, author) VALUES ('ruby', 'david')
+  
+=== Updating Records
+
+Updating records in the table is done with +update+:
+
+  posts.where('stamp < ?', Date.today - 7).update(:state => 'archived')
+  # UPDATE posts SET state = 'archived' WHERE stamp < '2010-07-07'
+
+You can reference table columns when choosing what values to set:
+
+  posts.where{|o| o.stamp < Date.today - 7}.update(:backup_number => Sequel.+(:backup_number, 1))
+  # UPDATE posts SET backup_number = backup_number + 1 WHERE stamp < '2010-07-07'
+
+As with +delete+, +update+ affects all rows in the dataset, so +where+ first,
++update+ second:
+
+  # DO THIS:
+  posts.where('stamp < ?', Date.today - 7).update(:state => 'archived')
+  # NOT THIS:
+  posts.update(:state => 'archived').where('stamp < ?', Date.today - 7)
+
+=== Transactions
+
+You can wrap some code in a database transaction using the <tt>Database#transaction</tt> method:
+
+  DB.transaction do
+    posts.insert(:category => 'ruby', :author => 'david')
+    posts.where('stamp < ?', Date.today - 7).update(:state => 'archived')
+  end
+
+If the block does not raise an exception, the transaction will be committed.
+If the block does raise an exception, the transaction will be rolled back,
+and the exception will be reraised.  If you want to rollback the transaction
+and not raise an exception outside the block, you can raise the
+<tt>Sequel::Rollback</tt> exception inside the block:
+
+  DB.transaction do
+    posts.insert(:category => 'ruby', :author => 'david')
+    if posts.filter('stamp < ?', Date.today - 7).update(:state => 'archived') == 0
+      raise Sequel::Rollback
+    end
+  end
+
+=== Joining Tables
+
+Sequel makes it easy to join tables:
+
+  order_items = DB[:items].join(:order_items, :item_id => :id).
+    where(:order_id => 1234)
+  # SELECT * FROM items INNER JOIN order_items
+  # ON order_items.item_id = items.id 
+  # WHERE order_id = 1234
+
+The important thing to note here is that item_id is automatically qualified with
+the table being joined, and id is automatically qualified with the last table
+joined.
+
+You can then do anything you like with the dataset:
+
+  order_total = order_items.sum(:price)
+  # SELECT sum(price) FROM items INNER JOIN order_items
+  # ON order_items.item_id = items.id
+  # WHERE order_items.order_id = 1234
+  
+== Column references in Sequel
+
+Sequel expects column names to be specified using symbols. In addition, returned hashes always use symbols as their keys. This allows you to freely mix literal values and column references in many cases. For example, the two following lines produce equivalent SQL:
+
+  items.where(:x => 1)
+  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE (x = 1)
+  items.where(1 => :x)
+  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE (1 = x)"
+
+Ruby strings are generally treated as SQL strings:
+
+  items.where(:x => 'x')
+  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE (x = 'x')
+
+=== Qualifying identifiers (column/table names)
+
+An identifier in SQL is a name that represents a column, table, or schema.
+Identifiers can be qualified by using the double underscore special notation <tt>:table__column</tt>:
+
+  items.literal(:items__price)
+  # items.price
+
+Another way to qualify columns is to use the <tt>Sequel.qualify</tt> method:
+
+  items.literal(Sequel.qualify(:items, :price))
+  # items.price
+
+While it is more common to qualify column identifiers with table identifiers, you can also qualify table identifiers with schema identifiers
+to select from a qualified table:
+
+  posts = DB[:some_schema__posts]
+  # SELECT * FROM some_schema.posts
+
+=== Identifier aliases
+
+You can also alias identifiers by using the triple undersecore special notation <tt>:column___alias</tt> or <tt>:table__column___alias</tt>:
+
+  items.literal(:price___p)
+  # price AS p
+  items.literal(:items__price___p)
+  # items.price AS p
+
+Another way to alias columns is to use the <tt>Sequel.as</tt> method:
+
+  items.literal(Sequel.as(:price, :p))
+  # price AS p
+
+You can use the <tt>Sequel.as</tt> method to alias arbitrary expressions, not just identifiers:
+
+  items.literal(Sequel.as(DB[:posts].select{max(id)}, :p))
+  # (SELECT max(id) FROM posts) AS p
+
+== Sequel Models
+
+A model class wraps a dataset, and an instance of that class wraps a single record in the dataset.
+
+Model classes are defined as regular Ruby classes inheriting from <tt>Sequel::Model</tt>:
+
+  DB = Sequel.connect('sqlite://blog.db')
+  class Post < Sequel::Model
+  end
+
+When a model class is created, it parses the schema in the table from the database, and
+automatically sets up accessor methods for all of the columns in the table (Sequel::Model
+implements the active record pattern).
+
+Sequel model classes assume that the table name is an underscored plural of the class name:
+
+  Post.table_name #=> :posts
+
+You can explicitly set the table name or even the dataset used:
+
+  class Post < Sequel::Model(:my_posts)
+  end
+  # or:
+  Post.set_dataset :my_posts
+
+If you call +set_dataset+ with a symbol, it assumes you are referring to the table with the same name.  You can also call it with a dataset, which will set the defaults for all retrievals for that model:
+
+  Post.set_dataset DB[:my_posts].where(:category => 'ruby')
+  Post.set_dataset DB[:my_posts].select(:id, :name).order(:date)
+
+=== Model instances
+
+Model instances are identified by a primary key.  In most cases, Sequel can query the database to determine the primary key, but if not, it defaults to using <tt>:id</tt>. The <tt>Model.[]</tt> method can be used to fetch records by their primary key:
+
+  post = Post[123]
+
+The +pk+ method is used to retrieve the record's primary key value:
+
+  post.pk #=> 123
+
+Sequel models allow you to use any column as a primary key, and even composite keys made from multiple columns:
+
+  class Post < Sequel::Model
+    set_primary_key [:category, :title]
+  end
+
+  post = Post['ruby', 'hello world']
+  post.pk #=> ['ruby', 'hello world']
+
+You can also define a model class that does not have a primary key via +no_primary_key+, but then you lose the ability to easily update and delete records:
+
+  Post.no_primary_key
+
+A single model instance can also be fetched by specifying a condition:
+
+  post = Post[:title => 'hello world']
+  post = Post.first{num_comments < 10}
+
+=== Acts like a dataset
+
+A model class forwards many methods to the underlying dataset. This means that you can use most of the +Dataset+ API to create customized queries that return model instances, e.g.:
+
+  Post.where(:category => 'ruby').each{|post| p post}
+
+You can also manipulate the records in the dataset:
+
+  Post.where{num_comments < 7}.delete
+  Post.where(Sequel.like(:title, /ruby/)).update(:category => 'ruby')
+
+=== Accessing record values
+
+A model instance stores its values as a hash with column symbol keys, which you can access directly via the +values+ method:
+
+  post.values #=> {:id => 123, :category => 'ruby', :title => 'hello world'}
+
+You can read the record values as object attributes, assuming the attribute names are valid columns in the model's dataset:
+
+  post.id #=> 123
+  post.title #=> 'hello world'
+  
+If the record's attributes names are not valid columns in the model's dataset (maybe because you used +select_append+ to add a computed value column), you can use <tt>Model#[]</tt> to access the values:
+
+  post[:id] #=> 123
+  post[:title] #=> 'hello world'
+
+You can also modify record values using attribute setters or the <tt>[]=</tt> method.
+
+
+  post.title = 'hey there'
+  post[:title] = 'hey there'
+
+That will just change the value for the object, it will not update the row in the database.  To update the database row, call the +save+ method:
+
+  post.save
+
+=== Mass assignment
+
+You can also set the values for multiple columns in a single method call, using one of the mass-assignment methods.  See the {mass assignment guide}[rdoc-ref:doc/mass_assignment.rdoc] for details.  For example +set+ updates the model's column values without saving:
+
+  post.set(:title=>'hey there', :updated_by=>'foo')
+
+and +update+ updates the model's column values and then saves the changes to the database:
+
+  post.update(:title => 'hey there', :updated_by=>'foo')
+
+=== Creating new records
+
+New records can be created by calling <tt>Model.create</tt>:
+
+  post = Post.create(:title => 'hello world')
+
+Another way is to construct a new instance and save it later:
+
+  post = Post.new
+  post.title = 'hello world'
+  post.save
+
+You can also supply a block to <tt>Model.new</tt> and <tt>Model.create</tt>:
+
+  post = Post.new do |p|
+    p.title = 'hello world'
+  end
+
+  post = Post.create{|p| p.title = 'hello world'}
+
+=== Hooks
+
+You can execute custom code when creating, updating, or deleting records by defining hook methods. The +before_create+ and +after_create+ hook methods wrap record creation. The +before_update+ and +after_update+ hook methods wrap record updating. The +before_save+ and +after_save+ hook methods wrap record creation and updating. The +before_destroy+ and +after_destroy+ hook methods wrap destruction. The +before_validation+ and +after_validation+ hook methods wrap validation. Example:
+
+  class Post < Sequel::Model
+    def after_create
+      super
+      author.increase_post_count
+    end
+
+    def after_destroy
+      super
+      author.decrease_post_count
+    end
+  end
+
+Note the use of +super+ if you define your own hook methods.  Almost all <tt>Sequel::Model</tt> class and instance methods (not just hook methods) can be overridden safely, but you have to make sure to call +super+ when doing so, otherwise you risk breaking things.
+
+For the example above, you should probably use a database trigger if you can.  Hooks can be used for data integrity, but they will only enforce that integrity when you are modifying the database through model instances, and even then they are often subject to race conditions.  It's best to use database triggers and constraints to enforce data integrity.
+
+=== Deleting records
+
+You can delete individual records by calling +delete+ or +destroy+. The only difference between the two methods is that +destroy+ invokes +before_destroy+ and +after_destroy+ hook methods, while +delete+ does not:
+
+  post.delete # => bypasses hooks
+  post.destroy # => runs hooks
+
+Records can also be deleted en-masse by calling <tt>delete</tt> and <tt>destroy</tt> on the model's dataset. As stated above, you can specify filters for the deleted records:
+
+  Post.where(:category => 32).delete # => bypasses hooks
+  Post.where(:category => 32).destroy # => runs hooks
+
+Please note that if <tt>destroy</tt> is called, each record is deleted 
+separately, but <tt>delete</tt> deletes all matching records with a single 
+SQL query.
+
+=== Associations
+
+Associations are used in order to specify relationships between model classes that reflect relationships between tables in the database, which are usually specified using foreign keys.  You specify model associations via class methods:
+
+  class Post < Sequel::Model
+    many_to_one :author
+    one_to_many :comments
+    one_to_one :first_comment, :class=>:Comment, :order=>:id
+    many_to_many :tags
+    one_through_one :first_tag, :class=>:Tag, :order=>:name, :right_key=>:tag_id
+  end
+
++many_to_one+ and +one_to_one+ create a getter and setter for each model object:
+
+  post = Post.create(:name => 'hi!')
+  post.author = Author[:name => 'Sharon']
+  post.author
+
++one_to_many+ and +many_to_many+ create a getter method, a method for adding an object to the association, a method for removing an object from the association, and a method for removing all associated objects from the association:
+
+  post = Post.create(:name => 'hi!')
+  post.comments
+
+  comment = Comment.create(:text=>'hi')
+  post.add_comment(comment)
+  post.remove_comment(comment)
+  post.remove_all_comments
+
+  tag = Tag.create(:tag=>'interesting')
+  post.add_tag(tag)
+  post.remove_tag(tag)
+  post.remove_all_tags
+  
+Note that the remove_* and remove_all_* methods do not delete the object from the database, they merely disassociate the associated object from the receiver.
+
+All associations add a dataset method that can be used to further filter or reorder the returned objects, or modify all of them:
+
+  # Delete all of this post's comments from the database
+  post.comments_dataset.destroy
+
+  # Return all tags related to this post with no subscribers, ordered by the tag's name
+  post.tags_dataset.where(:subscribers=>0).order(:name).all
+
+=== Eager Loading
+
+Associations can be eagerly loaded via +eager+ and the <tt>:eager</tt> association option. Eager loading is used when loading a group of objects. It loads all associated objects for all of the current objects in one query, instead of using a separate query to get the associated objects for each current object. Eager loading requires that you retrieve all model objects at once via +all+ (instead of individually by +each+). Eager loading can be cascaded, loading association's associated objects.
+
+  class Person < Sequel::Model
+    one_to_many :posts, :eager=>[:tags]
+  end
+
+  class Post < Sequel::Model
+    many_to_one :person
+    one_to_many :replies
+    many_to_many :tags
+  end
+
+  class Tag < Sequel::Model
+    many_to_many :posts
+    many_to_many :replies
+  end
+
+  class Reply < Sequel::Model
+    many_to_one :person
+    many_to_one :post
+    many_to_many :tags
+  end
+
+  # Eager loading via .eager
+  Post.eager(:person).all
+
+  # eager is a dataset method, so it works with filters/orders/limits/etc.
+  Post.where{topic > 'M'}.order(:date).limit(5).eager(:person).all
+  
+  person = Person.first
+  # Eager loading via :eager (will eagerly load the tags for this person's posts)
+  person.posts
+  
+  # These are equivalent
+  Post.eager(:person, :tags).all
+  Post.eager(:person).eager(:tags).all
+  
+  # Cascading via .eager
+  Tag.eager(:posts=>:replies).all
+  
+  # Will also grab all associated posts' tags (because of :eager)
+  Reply.eager(:person=>:posts).all
+  
+  # No depth limit (other than memory/stack), and will also grab posts' tags
+  # Loads all people, their posts, their posts' tags, replies to those posts,
+  # the person for each reply, the tag for each reply, and all posts and
+  # replies that have that tag.  Uses a total of 8 queries.
+  Person.eager(:posts=>{:replies=>[:person, {:tags=>[:posts, :replies]}]}).all
+
+In addition to using +eager+, you can also use +eager_graph+, which will use a single query to get the object and all associated objects.  This may be necessary if you want to filter or order the result set based on columns in associated tables.  It works with cascading as well, the API is very similar.  Note that using +eager_graph+ to eagerly load multiple <tt>*_to_many</tt> associations will cause the result set to be a cartesian product, so you should be very careful with your filters when using it in that case.
+
+You can dynamically customize the eagerly loaded dataset by using using a proc.  This proc is passed the dataset used for eager loading, and should return a modified copy of that dataset:
+
+  # Eagerly load only replies containing 'foo'
+  Post.eager(:replies=>proc{|ds| ds.where(Sequel.like(text, '%foo%'))}).all
+
+This also works when using +eager_graph+, in which case the proc is called with dataset to graph into the current dataset:
+
+  Post.eager_graph(:replies=>proc{|ds| ds.where(Sequel.like(text, '%foo%'))}).all
+
+You can dynamically customize eager loads for both +eager+ and +eager_graph+ while also cascading, by making the value a single entry hash with the proc as a key, and the cascaded associations as the value:
+
+  # Eagerly load only replies containing 'foo', and the person and tags for those replies
+  Post.eager(:replies=>{proc{|ds| ds.where(Sequel.like(text, '%foo%'))}=>[:person, :tags]}).all
+
+=== Joining with Associations
+
+You can use the association_join method to add a join to the model's dataset based on the assocation:
+
+  Post.association_join(:author)
+  # SELECT * FROM posts
+  # INNER JOIN authors AS author ON (author.id = posts.author_id)
+
+This comes with variants for different join types:
+
+  Post.association_left_join(:replies)
+  # SELECT * FROM posts
+  # LEFT JOIN replies ON (replies.post_id = posts.id)
+
+Similar to the eager loading methods, you can use multiple associations and nested associations:
+
+  Post.association_join(:author, :replies=>:person).all
+  # SELECT * FROM posts
+  # INNER JOIN authors AS author ON (author.id = posts.author_id)
+  # INNER JOIN replies ON (replies.post_id = posts.id)
+  # INNER JOIN people AS person ON (person.id = replies.person_id)
+
+=== Extending the underlying dataset
+
+The recommended way to implement table-wide logic by defining methods on the dataset using +dataset_module+:
+
+  class Post < Sequel::Model
+    dataset_module do
+      def posts_with_few_comments
+        where{num_comments < 30}
+      end
+
+      def clean_posts_with_few_comments
+        posts_with_few_comments.delete
+      end
+    end
+  end
+
+This allows you to have access to your model API from filtered datasets as well:
+
+  Post.where(:category => 'ruby').clean_posts_with_few_comments
+
+Sequel models also provide a +subset+ class method that creates a dataset method with a simple filter:
+
+  class Post < Sequel::Model
+    subset(:posts_with_few_comments){num_comments < 30}
+    subset :invisible, Sequel.~(:visible)
+  end
+
+=== Model Validations
+
+You can define a +validate+ method for your model, which +save+
+will check before attempting to save the model in the database.
+If an attribute of the model isn't valid, you should add a error
+message for that attribute to the model object's +errors+. If an
+object has any errors added by the validate method, +save+ will
+raise an error or return false depending on how it is configured
+(the +raise_on_save_failure+ flag).
+
+  class Post < Sequel::Model
+    def validate
+      super
+      errors.add(:name, "can't be empty") if name.empty?
+      errors.add(:written_on, "should be in the past") if written_on >= Time.now
+    end
+  end
