-  # Active Record objects don't specify their attributes directly, but rather infer them from the table definition with
-  # which they're linked. Adding, removing, and changing attributes and their type is done directly in the database. Any change
-  # is instantly reflected in the Active Record objects. The mapping that binds a given Active Record class to a certain
-  # database table will happen automatically in most common cases, but can be overwritten for the uncommon ones.
-  #
-  # See the mapping rules in table_name and the full example in link:files/README.html for more insight.
-  #
-  # == Creation
-  #
-  # Active Records accept constructor parameters either in a hash or as a block. The hash method is especially useful when
-  # you're receiving the data from somewhere else, like a HTTP request. It works like this:
-  #
-  #   user = User.new(:name => "David", :occupation => "Code Artist")
-  #   user.name # => "David"
-  #
-  # You can also use block initialization:
-  #
-  #   user = User.new do |u|
-  #     u.name = "David"
-  #     u.occupation = "Code Artist"
-  #   end
-  #
-  # And of course you can just create a bare object and specify the attributes after the fact:
-  #
-  #   user = User.new
-  #   user.name = "David"
-  #   user.occupation = "Code Artist"
-  #
-  # == Conditions
-  #
-  # Conditions can either be specified as a string, array, or hash representing the WHERE-part of an SQL statement.
-  # The array form is to be used when the condition input is tainted and requires sanitization. The string form can
-  # be used for statements that don't involve tainted data. The hash form works much like the array form, except
-  # only equality and range is possible. Examples:
-  #
-  #   class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-  #     def self.authenticate_unsafely(user_name, password)
-  #       find(:first, :conditions => "user_name = '#{user_name}' AND password = '#{password}'")
-  #     end
-  #
-  #     def self.authenticate_safely(user_name, password)
-  #       find(:first, :conditions => [ "user_name = ? AND password = ?", user_name, password ])
-  #     end
-  #
-  #     def self.authenticate_safely_simply(user_name, password)
-  #       find(:first, :conditions => { :user_name => user_name, :password => password })
-  #     end
-  #   end
-  #
-  # The <tt>authenticate_unsafely</tt> method inserts the parameters directly into the query and is thus susceptible to SQL-injection
-  # attacks if the <tt>user_name</tt> and +password+ parameters come directly from a HTTP request. The <tt>authenticate_safely</tt>  and
-  # <tt>authenticate_safely_simply</tt> both will sanitize the <tt>user_name</tt> and +password+ before inserting them in the query, 
-  # which will ensure that an attacker can't escape the query and fake the login (or worse).
-  #
-  # When using multiple parameters in the conditions, it can easily become hard to read exactly what the fourth or fifth
-  # question mark is supposed to represent. In those cases, you can resort to named bind variables instead. That's done by replacing
-  # the question marks with symbols and supplying a hash with values for the matching symbol keys:
-  #
-  #   Company.find(:first, [
-  #     "id = :id AND name = :name AND division = :division AND created_at > :accounting_date",
-  #     { :id => 3, :name => "37signals", :division => "First", :accounting_date => '2005-01-01' }
-  #   ])
-  #
-  # Similarly, a simple hash without a statement will generate conditions based on equality with the SQL AND
-  # operator. For instance:
-  #
-  #   Student.find(:all, :conditions => { :first_name => "Harvey", :status => 1 })
-  #   Student.find(:all, :conditions => params[:student])
-  #
-  # A range may be used in the hash to use the SQL BETWEEN operator:
-  #
-  #   Student.find(:all, :conditions => { :grade => 9..12 })
-  #
-  # == Overwriting default accessors
-  #
-  # All column values are automatically available through basic accessors on the Active Record object, but some times you
-  # want to specialize this behavior. This can be done by either by overwriting the default accessors (using the same
-  # name as the attribute) calling read_attribute(attr_name) and write_attribute(attr_name, value) to actually change things.
-  # Example:
-  #
-  #   class Song < ActiveRecord::Base
-  #     # Uses an integer of seconds to hold the length of the song
-  #
-  #     def length=(minutes)
-  #       write_attribute(:length, minutes * 60)
-  #     end
-  #
-  #     def length
-  #       read_attribute(:length) / 60
-  #     end
-  #   end
-  #
-  # You can alternatively use self[:attribute]=(value) and self[:attribute] instead of write_attribute(:attribute, vaule) and
-  # read_attribute(:attribute) as a shorter form.
-  #
-  # == Accessing attributes before they have been typecasted
-  #
-  # Sometimes you want to be able to read the raw attribute data without having the column-determined typecast run its course first.
-  # That can be done by using the <attribute>_before_type_cast accessors that all attributes have. For example, if your Account model
-  # has a balance attribute, you can call account.balance_before_type_cast or account.id_before_type_cast.
-  #
-  # This is especially useful in validation situations where the user might supply a string for an integer field and you want to display
-  # the original string back in an error message. Accessing the attribute normally would typecast the string to 0, which isn't what you
-  # want.
-  #
-  # == Dynamic attribute-based finders
-  #
-  # Dynamic attribute-based finders are a cleaner way of getting (and/or creating) objects by simple queries without turning to SQL. They work by
-  # appending the name of an attribute to <tt>find_by_</tt> or <tt>find_all_by_</tt>, so you get finders like Person.find_by_user_name,
-  # Person.find_all_by_last_name, Payment.find_by_transaction_id. So instead of writing
-  # <tt>Person.find(:first, ["user_name = ?", user_name])</tt>, you just do <tt>Person.find_by_user_name(user_name)</tt>.
-  # And instead of writing <tt>Person.find(:all, ["last_name = ?", last_name])</tt>, you just do <tt>Person.find_all_by_last_name(last_name)</tt>.
-  #
-  # It's also possible to use multiple attributes in the same find by separating them with "_and_", so you get finders like
-  # <tt>Person.find_by_user_name_and_password</tt> or even <tt>Payment.find_by_purchaser_and_state_and_country</tt>. So instead of writing
-  # <tt>Person.find(:first, ["user_name = ? AND password = ?", user_name, password])</tt>, you just do
-  # <tt>Person.find_by_user_name_and_password(user_name, password)</tt>.
-  #
-  # It's even possible to use all the additional parameters to find. For example, the full interface for Payment.find_all_by_amount
-  # is actually Payment.find_all_by_amount(amount, options). And the full interface to Person.find_by_user_name is
-  # actually Person.find_by_user_name(user_name, options). So you could call <tt>Payment.find_all_by_amount(50, :order => "created_on")</tt>.
-  #
-  # The same dynamic finder style can be used to create the object if it doesn't already exist. This dynamic finder is called with
-  # <tt>find_or_create_by_</tt> and will return the object if it already exists and otherwise creates it, then returns it. Example:
-  #
-  #   # No 'Summer' tag exists
-  #   Tag.find_or_create_by_name("Summer") # equal to Tag.create(:name => "Summer")
-  #   
-  #   # Now the 'Summer' tag does exist
-  #   Tag.find_or_create_by_name("Summer") # equal to Tag.find_by_name("Summer")
-  #
-  # Use the <tt>find_or_initialize_by_</tt> finder if you want to return a new record without saving it first. Example:
-  #
-  #   # No 'Winter' tag exists
-  #   winter = Tag.find_or_initialize_by_name("Winter")
-  #   winter.new_record? # true
-  #
-  # To find by a subset of the attributes to be used for instantiating a new object, pass a hash instead of
-  # a list of parameters. For example:
-  #
-  #   Tag.find_or_create_by_name(:name => "rails", :creator => current_user)
-  #
-  # That will either find an existing tag named "rails", or create a new one while setting the user that created it.
-  #
-  # == Saving arrays, hashes, and other non-mappable objects in text columns
-  #
-  # Active Record can serialize any object in text columns using YAML. To do so, you must specify this with a call to the class method +serialize+.
-  # This makes it possible to store arrays, hashes, and other non-mappable objects without doing any additional work. Example:
-  #
-  #   class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-  #     serialize :preferences
-  #   end
-  #
-  #   user = User.create(:preferences => { "background" => "black", "display" => large })
-  #   User.find(user.id).preferences # => { "background" => "black", "display" => large }
-  #
-  # You can also specify a class option as the second parameter that'll raise an exception if a serialized object is retrieved as a
-  # descendent of a class not in the hierarchy. Example:
-  #
-  #   class User < ActiveRecord::Base
-  #     serialize :preferences, Hash
-  #   end
-  #
-  #   user = User.create(:preferences => %w( one two three ))
-  #   User.find(user.id).preferences    # raises SerializationTypeMismatch
-  #
-  # == Single table inheritance
-  #
-  # Active Record allows inheritance by storing the name of the class in a column that by default is called "type" (can be changed
-  # by overwriting <tt>Base.inheritance_column</tt>). This means that an inheritance looking like this:
-  #
-  #   class Company < ActiveRecord::Base; end
-  #   class Firm < Company; end
-  #   class Client < Company; end
-  #   class PriorityClient < Client; end
-  #
-  # When you do Firm.create(:name => "37signals"), this record will be saved in the companies table with type = "Firm". You can then
-  # fetch this row again using Company.find(:first, "name = '37signals'") and it will return a Firm object.
-  #
-  # If you don't have a type column defined in your table, single-table inheritance won't be triggered. In that case, it'll work just
-  # like normal subclasses with no special magic for differentiating between them or reloading the right type with find.
-  #
-  # Note, all the attributes for all the cases are kept in the same table. Read more:
-  # http://www.martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/singleTableInheritance.html
-  #
-  # == Connection to multiple databases in different models
-  #
-  # Connections are usually created through ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection and retrieved by ActiveRecord::Base.connection.
-  # All classes inheriting from ActiveRecord::Base will use this connection. But you can also set a class-specific connection.
-  # For example, if Course is a ActiveRecord::Base, but resides in a different database you can just say Course.establish_connection
-  # and Course *and all its subclasses* will use this connection instead.
-  #
-  # This feature is implemented by keeping a connection pool in ActiveRecord::Base that is a Hash indexed by the class. If a connection is
-  # requested, the retrieve_connection method will go up the class-hierarchy until a connection is found in the connection pool.
-  #
-  # == Exceptions
-  #
-  # * +ActiveRecordError+ -- generic error class and superclass of all other errors raised by Active Record
-  # * +AdapterNotSpecified+ -- the configuration hash used in <tt>establish_connection</tt> didn't include a
-  #   <tt>:adapter</tt> key.
-  # * +AdapterNotFound+ -- the <tt>:adapter</tt> key used in <tt>establish_connection</tt> specified an non-existent adapter
-  #   (or a bad spelling of an existing one).
-  # * +AssociationTypeMismatch+ -- the object assigned to the association wasn't of the type specified in the association definition.
-  # * +SerializationTypeMismatch+ -- the object serialized wasn't of the class specified as the second parameter.
-  # * +ConnectionNotEstablished+ -- no connection has been established. Use <tt>establish_connection</tt> before querying.
-  # * +RecordNotFound+ -- no record responded to the find* method.
-  #   Either the row with the given ID doesn't exist or the row didn't meet the additional restrictions.
-  # * +StatementInvalid+ -- the database server rejected the SQL statement. The precise error is added in the  message.
-  #   Either the record with the given ID doesn't exist or the record didn't meet the additional restrictions.
-  # * +MultiparameterAssignmentErrors+ -- collection of errors that occurred during a mass assignment using the
-  #   +attributes=+ method. The +errors+ property of this exception contains an array of +AttributeAssignmentError+
-  #   objects that should be inspected to determine which attributes triggered the errors.
-  # * +AttributeAssignmentError+ -- an error occurred while doing a mass assignment through the +attributes=+ method.
-  #   You can inspect the +attribute+ property of the exception object to determine which attribute triggered the error.
-  #
-  # *Note*: The attributes listed are class-level attributes (accessible from both the class and instance level).
-  # So it's possible to assign a logger to the class through Base.logger= which will then be used by all
-  # instances in the current object space.
-  class Base
-    # Accepts a logger conforming to the interface of Log4r or the default Ruby 1.8+ Logger class, which is then passed

-      # Find operates with three different retrieval approaches:
-      #
-      # * Find by id: This can either be a specific id (1), a list of ids (1, 5, 6), or an array of ids ([5, 6, 10]).
-      #   If no record can be found for all of the listed ids, then RecordNotFound will be raised.
-      # * Find first: This will return the first record matched by the options used. These options can either be specific
-      #   conditions or merely an order. If no record can matched, nil is returned.
-      # * Find all: This will return all the records matched by the options used. If no records are found, an empty array is returned.
-      #
-      # All approaches accept an option hash as their last parameter. The options are:
-      #
-      # * <tt>:conditions</tt>: An SQL fragment like "administrator = 1" or [ "user_name = ?", username ]. See conditions in the intro.
-      # * <tt>:order</tt>: An SQL fragment like "created_at DESC, name".
-      # * <tt>:group</tt>: An attribute name by which the result should be grouped. Uses the GROUP BY SQL-clause.
-      # * <tt>:limit</tt>: An integer determining the limit on the number of rows that should be returned.
-      # * <tt>:offset</tt>: An integer determining the offset from where the rows should be fetched. So at 5, it would skip the first 4 rows.
-      # * <tt>:joins</tt>: An SQL fragment for additional joins like "LEFT JOIN comments ON comments.post_id = id". (Rarely needed).
-      #   The records will be returned read-only since they will have attributes that do not correspond to the table's columns.
-      #   Pass :readonly => false to override.
-      # * <tt>:include</tt>: Names associations that should be loaded alongside using LEFT OUTER JOINs. The symbols named refer
-      #   to already defined associations. See eager loading under Associations.
-      # * <tt>:select</tt>: By default, this is * as in SELECT * FROM, but can be changed if you for example want to do a join, but not
-      #   include the joined columns.
-      # * <tt>:from</tt>: By default, this is the table name of the class, but can be changed to an alternate table name (or even the name
-      #   of a database view). 
-      # * <tt>:readonly</tt>: Mark the returned records read-only so they cannot be saved or updated.
-      # * <tt>:lock</tt>: An SQL fragment like "FOR UPDATE" or "LOCK IN SHARE MODE".
-      #   :lock => true gives connection's default exclusive lock, usually "FOR UPDATE".
-      #
-      # Examples for find by id:
-      #   Person.find(1)       # returns the object for ID = 1
