+Arext
+=====
+
+Active Record Extensions.
+
+== Validations (validates_constraints() )
+This uses the information one can extract from ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapter::Column 
+to add default validations. The text?, limit and type methods are used to guess what validations are to be added
+validates_constraints make some assumptions (see below) and none of its behaviour is configurable.
+(you can always use the standard validations in addition to make some adjustments)
+
+ * Adds validates_presence_of for columns with not null constraints (unless type is :boolean)
+   * options are added so that empty strings will pass, unlike if you add the validate_presence_of yourself.
+     If you want to have different behaviour then just add a validation yourself
+ * Adds validates_inclusion_of(:in => [true, false]) for columns with not null constraints and :boolean type
+ * Adds validates_length_of for text columns with not null limit
+
+Example
+=======
+
+in your ActiveRecord class:
+ validate_constraints(:attribute_name, :other_attribute_name)
+or
+ validates_constraints() for all attributes
