-= Association Basics
-This guide is based on http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html
-== Why Associations?
-Associations exist to simplify code that deals with related rows in separate
-database tables.  Without associations, if you had classes such as:
-  class Artist < Sequel::Model
-  end
-  class Album < Sequel::Model
-  end
-And you wanted to get all of the albums for a given artist (assuming each
-album was associated with only one artist):
-  Album.where(artist_id: @artist.id).all
-Or maybe you want to add an album for a given artist:
-  Album.create(artist_id: @artist.id, name: 'RF')
-With associations, you can make the above code simpler, by setting up associations
-between the two models:
-  class Artist < Sequel::Model
-    one_to_many :albums
-  end
-  class Album < Sequel::Model
-    many_to_one :artist
-  end
-Then, the code to retrieve albums related to the artist is simpler:
-  @artist.albums
-As is the code to add a related album to an artist:
-  @artist.add_album(name: 'RF')
-It also makes it easier to creating queries that use joins based on the association:
-  Artist.association_join(:albums)
-  # SELECT * FROM artists
-  # INNER JOIN albums ON (albums.artist_id = artists.id)
-== The Types of Associations
-Sequel has five different association types built in:
-* many_to_one
-* one_to_many
-* one_to_one
-* many_to_many
-* one_through_one
-It ships with additional association types via plugins.
-=== many_to_one
-The many_to_one association is used when the table for the current class
-contains a foreign key that references the primary key in the table for the
-associated class.  It is named because there can be many rows in the current
-table for each row in the associated table.
-  # Database schema:
-  #  albums             artists
-  #   :id           /--> :id
-  #   :artist_id --/     :name
-  #   :name
-  class Album
-    # Uses singular form of associated model name
-    many_to_one :artist
-  end
-=== one_to_many and one_to_one
-The one_to_many association is used when the table for the associated class
-contains a foreign key that references the primary key in the table for the
-current class.  It is named because for each row in the current table there
-can be many rows in the associated table:
-The one_to_one association can be thought of as a subset of the one_to_many association,
-but where there can only be either 0 or 1 records in the associated table.  This is
-useful if there is a unique constraint on the foreign key field in the associated table.
-It's also useful if you want to impose an order on the association and just want the
-first record returned.
-  # Database schema:
-  #  artists            albums
-  #   :id   <----\       :id
-  #   :name       \----- :artist_id
-  #                      :name
-  class Artist
-    # Uses plural form of associated model name
-    one_to_many :albums
-    # Uses singular form of associated model name
-    one_to_one :album
-  end
-=== many_to_many and one_through_one
-The many_to_many association allows each row in the current table to be associated
-to many rows in the associated table, and each row in the associated table to
-many rows in the current table, by using a join table to associate the two tables.
-The one_through_one association can be thought of as a subset of the many_to_many
-association, but where there can only be 0 or 1 records in the associated table.
-This is useful if there is a unique constraint on the foreign key in the join table
-that refrences the current table.  It's also useful if you want to impose an order
-on the association and just want the first record returned.  The one_through_one
-association is so named because it sets up a one-to-one association through a
-single join table.
-  # Database schema:
-  #  albums
-  #   :id   <----\
-  #   :name       \     albums_artists
-  #                \---- :album_id
-  #  artists       /---- :artist_id
-  #   :id   <-----/
-  #   :name
-  class Artist
-    # Uses plural form of associated model name
-    many_to_many :albums
-    # Uses singular form of associated model name
-    one_through_one :album
-  end
-=== Differences Between many_to_one and one_to_one
-If you want to setup a 1-1 relationship between two models, where the
-foreign key in one table references the associated table directly, you have to use
-many_to_one in one model, and one_to_one in the other model.  How do you
-know which to use in which model?
-The simplest way to remember is that the model whose table has the foreign
-key uses many_to_one, and the other model uses one_to_one:
-  # Database schema:
-  #  artists            albums
-  #   :id   <----\       :id
-  #   :name       \----- :artist_id
-  #                      :name
-  class Artist
-    one_to_one :album
-  end
-  class Album
-    many_to_one :artist
-  end
-== Most Common Options
-=== :key
-The :key option must be used if the default column symbol that Sequel would use is not
-the correct column.  For example:
-  class Album
-    # Assumes :key is :artist_id, based on association name of :artist
-    many_to_one :artist
-  end
-  class Artist
-    # Assumes :key is :artist_id, based on class name of Artist
-    one_to_many :albums
-  end
-However, if your schema looks like:
-  # Database schema:
-  #  artists            albums
-  #   :id   <----\       :id
-  #   :name       \----- :artistid # Note missing underscore
-  #                      :name
-Then the default :key option will not be correct.  To fix this, you need to
-specify an explicit :key option:
-  class Album
-    many_to_one :artist, key: :artistid
-  end
-  class Artist
-    one_to_many :albums, key: :artistid
-  end
-For many_to_many associations, the :left_key and :right_key options can be
-used to specify the column names in the join table, and the :join_table
-option can be used to specify the name of the join table:
-  # Database schema:
-  #  albums
-  #   :id   <----\
-  #   :name       \     albumsartists
-  #                \---- :albumid
-  #  artists       /---- :artistid
-  #   :id   <-----/
-  #   :name
-  class Artist
-    # Note that :left_key refers to the foreign key pointing to the
-    # current table, and :right_key the foreign key pointing to the
-    # associated table.
-    many_to_many :albums, left_key: :artistid, right_key: :albumid,
-      join_table: :albumsartists
-  end
-  class Album
-    many_to_many :artists, left_key: :albumid, right_key: :artistid,
-      join_table: :albumsartists
-  end
-=== :class
-If the class of the association cannot be guessed directly by looking at
-the association name, you need to specify it via the :class option.  For
-example, if you have two separate foreign keys in the albums table that
-both point to the artists table, maybe to indicate one artist is the
-vocalist and one is the composer, you'd have to use the :class option:
-  # Database schema:
-  #  artists            albums
-  #   :id   <----\       :id
-  #   :name       \----- :vocalist_id
-  #                \---- :composer_id
-  #                      :name
-  class Album
-    many_to_one :vocalist, class: :Artist
-    many_to_one :composer, class: :Artist
-  end
-  class Artist
-    one_to_many :vocalist_albums, class: :Album, key: :vocalist_id
-    one_to_many :composer_albums, class: :Album, key: :composer_id
-  end
-== Self-referential Associations
-Self-referential associations are easy to handle in Sequel.  The simplest
-example is a tree structure:
-  # Database schema:
-  #  nodes
-  #   :id        <--\
-  #   :parent_id ---/
-  #   :name
-  class Node
-    many_to_one :parent, class: self
-    one_to_many :children, key: :parent_id, class: self
-  end
-For many_to_many self_referential associations, it's fairly similar.  Here's
-an example of a directed graph:
-  # Database schema:
-  #  nodes              edges
-  #   :id   <----------- :successor_id
-  #   :name       \----- :predecessor_id
-  class Node
-    many_to_many :direct_predecessors, left_key: :successor_id,
-      right_key: :predecessor_id, join_table: :edges, class: self
-    many_to_many :direct_successors, right_key: :successor_id,
-      left_key: :predecessor_id, join_table: :edges, class: self
-  end
-== Methods Added
-When you create an association, it's going to add instance methods to
-the class related to the association.
-All associations are going to have an instance method added with the
-same name as the association:
-  @artist.albums
-  @album.artists
-many_to_one and one_to_one associations will also have a setter method
-added to change the associated object:
-  @album.artist = Artist.create(name: 'YJM')
-many_to_many and one_to_many associations will have three methods added:
-add_* :: to associate an object to the current object
-remove_* :: to disassociate an object from the current object
-remove_all_* :: to dissociate all currently associated objects
-Examples:
-  @artist.add_album(@album)
-  @artist.remove_album(@album)
-  @artist.remove_all_albums
-Note that the remove_all_* method does not call remove hooks defined on
-the association, it just issues a single query to the database.  If you
-want to remove all associated objects and call remove hooks, iterate
-over the array of associated objects and call remove_* for each:
-  @artist.albums.each do |album|
-    @artist.remove_album(album)
-  end
-== Caching
-Associations are cached after being retrieved:
-  @artist.album # Not cached - Database Query
-  @artist.album # Cached - No Database Query
-  @album.artists # Not cached - Database Query
-  @album.artists # Cached - No Database Query
-You can choose to ignore the cached versions and do a database query to
-retrieve results by passing a :reload=>true option to the association method:
-  @album.artists # Not cached - Database Query
-  @album.artists # Cached - No Database Query
-  @album.artists(:reload=>true) # Ignore cache - Database Query
-If you reload/refresh the object, it will automatically clear the
-associations cache for the object:
-  @album.artists # Not cached - Database Query
-  @album.artists # Cached - No Database Query
-  @album.reload
-  @album.artists # Not Cached - Database Query
-If you want direct access to the associations cache, use the associations
-instance method:
-  @album.associations # {}
-  @album.associations[:artists] # nil
-  @album.artists # [<Artist ...>, ...]
-  @album.associations[:artists] # [<Artist ...>, ...]
-== Dataset Method
-In addition to the above methods, associations also add a instance method
-ending in +_dataset+ that returns a dataset representing the objects in the associated table:
-  @album.artist_id
-  # 10
-  @album.artist_dataset
-  # SELECT * FROM artists WHERE (id = 10) LIMIT 1
-  @artist.id
-  # 20
-  @artist.albums_dataset
-  # SELECT * FROM albums WHERE (artist_id = 20)
-The association dataset is just like any other Sequel dataset, in that
-it can be further filtered, ordered, etc.:
-  @artist.albums_dataset.
-   where(Sequel.like(:name, 'A%')).
-   order(:copies_sold).
-   limit(10)
-  # SELECT * FROM albums
-  # WHERE ((artist_id = 20) AND (name LIKE 'A%' ESCAPE '\'))
-  # ORDER BY copies_sold LIMIT 10
-Records retrieved using the +_dataset+ method are not cached in the
-associations cache.
-  @album.artists_dataset.all # [<Artist ...>, ...]
-  @album.associations[:artists] # nil
-== Dynamic Association Modification
-Similar to the +_dataset+ method, you can provide a block to the association
-method to customize the dataset that will be used to retrieve the records.  So
-you can apply a filter in either of these two ways:
-  @artist.albums_dataset.where(Sequel.like(:name, 'A%'))
-  @artist.albums{|ds| ds.where(Sequel.like(:name, 'A%'))}
-While they both apply the same filter, using the +_dataset+ method does not
-apply any of the association callbacks or handle association reciprocals (see
-below for details about callbacks and reciprocals).  Using a block instead handles
-all those things, and also caches its results in the associations cache (ignoring
-any previously cached value).
-== Filtering By Associations
-In addition to using the association method to get associated objects, you
-can also use associated objects in filters.  For example, to get
-all albums for a given artist, you would usually do:
-  @artist.albums
-  # or @artist.albums_dataset for a dataset
-You can also do the following:
-  Album.where(artist: @artist).all
-  # or leave off the .all for a dataset
-For filtering by a single association, this isn't very useful.  However, unlike
-using the association method, using a filter allows you to filter by multiple
-associations:
-  Album.where(artist: @artist, publisher: @publisher)
-This will return all albums by that artist and published by that publisher.
-This isn't possible using just the association method approach, though you
-can combine the approaches:
-  @artist.albums_dataset.where(publisher: @publisher)
-This doesn't just work for +many_to_one+ associations, it also works for
-the other associations:
-  Album.one_to_one :album_info
-  # The album related to that AlbumInfo instance
-  Album.where(album_info: AlbumInfo[2])
-  Album.one_to_many :tracks
-  # The album related to that Track instance
-  Album.where(tracks: Track[3])
-  Album.many_to_many :tags
-  # All albums related to that Tag instance
-  Album.where(tags: Tag[4])
-  Album.one_through_one :tag
-  # All albums related to that Tag instance
-  Album.where(tag: Tag[4])
-Note that for +one_to_many+ and +many_to_many+ associations, you still
-use the plural form even though only a single model object is given.
-You can also exclude by associations:
-  Album.exclude(artist: @artist).all
-This will return all albums not by that artist.
-You can also provide an array with multiple model objects:
-  Album.where(artist: [@artist1, @artist2]).all
-Similar to using an array of integers or strings, this will return
-all albums whose artist is one of those two artists.  You can also
-use +exclude+ if you want all albums not by either of those artists:
-  Album.exclude(artist: [@artist1, @artist2]).all
-If you are using a +one_to_many+ or +many_to_many+ association, you
-may want to return records where the records matches all of multiple
-records, instead of matching any of them.  For example:
-  Album.where(tags: [@tag1, @tag2])
-This matches albums that are associated with either @tag1 or @tag2 or
-both.  If you only want ones that you are associated with both, you can
-use separate filter calls:
-  Album.where(tags: @tag1).where(tags: @tag2)
-Or the array form of condition specifiers:
-  Album.where([[:tags, @tag1], [:tags, @tag2]])
-These will return albums associated with both @tag1 and @tag2.
-You can also provide a dataset value when filtering by associations:
-  Album.where(artist: Artist.where(Sequel.like(:name, 'A%'))).all
-This will return all albums whose artist starts with 'A'. Like
-the other forms, this can be inverted:
-  Album.exclude(artist: Artist.where(Sequel.like(:name, 'A%'))).all
-This will return all albums whose artist does not start with 'A'.
-Filtering by associations even works for associations that have
-conditions added via the :conditions option or a block:
-  Album.one_to_many :popular_tags, clone: :tags do |ds|
-    ds.where{times_used > 1000}
-  end
-  Album.where(popular_tags: [@tag1, @tag2])
-This will return all albums that whose popular tags would include
-at least one of those tags.
-Note that filtering by associations does not work for associations
-that use blocks with instance-specific code.
-== Name Collisions
-Because associations create instance methods, it's possible to override
-existing instance methods if you name an association the same as an
-existing method.  For example, <tt>values</tt> and <tt>associations</tt>
-would be bad association names.
-== Database Schema
-Creating an association doesn't modify the database schema.  Sequel
-assumes your associations reflect the existing database schema.  If not,
-you should modify your schema before creating the associations.
-=== many_to_one/one_to_many
-For example, for the following model code:
-  class Album
-    many_to_one :artist
-  end
-  class Artist
-    one_to_many :albums
-  end
-You probably want the following database schema:
-  #  albums             artists
-  #   :id           /--> :id
-  #   :artist_id --/     :name
-  #   :name
-Which could be created using the following Sequel code:
-  DB.create_table(:artists) do
-    # Primary key must be set explicitly
-    primary_key :id
-    String :name, :null=>false, :unique=>true
-  end
-  DB.create_table(:albums) do
-    primary_key :id
-    # Table that foreign key references needs to be set explicitly
-    # for a database foreign key reference to be created.
-    foreign_key :artist_id, :artists, :null=>false
-    String :name, :null=>false, :unique=>true
-  end
-If you already had a schema such as:
-  # Database schema:
-  #  albums             artists
-  #   :id                :id
-  #   :name              :name
-Then you just need to add the column:
-  DB.alter_table(:albums) do
-    add_foreign_key :artist_id, :artists, :null=>false
-  end
-=== many_to_many
-With many_to_many associations, the default join table for the association
-uses the sorted underscored names of both model classes.  For example, with
-the following model code:
-  class Album
-    many_to_many :artists
-  end
-  class Artist
-    many_to_many :albums
-  end
-The default join table name would be <tt>albums_artists</tt>, not
-<tt>artists_albums</tt>, because:
-  ["artists", "albums"].sort.join('_')
-  # "albums_artists"
-Assume you already had the albums and artists tables created, and you just
-wanted to add an albums_artists join table to create the following schema:
-  # Database schema:
-  #  albums
-  #   :id   <----\
-  #   :name       \     albums_artists
-  #                \---- :album_id
-  #  artists       /---- :artist_id
-  #   :id   <-----/
-  #   :name
-You could use the following Sequel code:
-  DB.create_join_table(:album_id=>:albums, :artist_id=>:artists)
-  # or
-  DB.create_table(:albums_artists) do
-    foreign_key :album_id, :albums, :null=>false
-    foreign_key :artist_id, :artists, :null=>false
-    primary_key [:album_id, :artist_id]
-    index [:artist_id, :album_id]
-  end
-== Association Scope
-If you nest your Sequel::Model classes inside modules, then you should know
-that Sequel will only look in the same module for associations by default.
-So the following code will work fine:
-  module App
-    class Artist < Sequel::Model
-      one_to_many :albums
-    end
-    class Album < Sequel::Model
-      many_to_one :artist
-    end
-  end
-However, if you enclose your model classes inside two different modules,
-things will not work by default:
-  module App1
-    class Artist < Sequel::Model
-      one_to_many :albums
-    end
-  end
-  module App2
-    class Album < Sequel::Model
-      many_to_one :artist
-    end
-  end
-To fix this, you need to specify the full model class name using the
-:class option:
-  module App1
-    class Artist < Sequel::Model
-      one_to_many :albums, class: "App2::Album"
-    end
-  end
-  module App2
-    class Album < Sequel::Model
-      many_to_one :artist, class: "App1::Artist"
-    end
-  end
-If both classes are in the same module, but the default class name
-used is not correct, you need to specify the full class name with the
-:class option:
-  module App1
-    class AlbumArtist < Sequel::Model
-      one_to_many :albums
-    end
-    class Album < Sequel::Model
-      many_to_one :artist, class: "App1::AlbumArtist"
-    end
-  end
-== Method Details
-In all of these methods, _association_ is replaced by the symbol you
-pass to the association.
-=== _association_(opts={}) (e.g. albums)
-For +many_to_one+ and +one_to_one+ associations, the _association_ method
-returns either the single object associated, or nil if no object is
-associated.
-  @artist = @album.artist
-For +one_to_many+ and +many_to_many+ associations, the _association_ method
-returns an array of associated objects, which may be empty if no objects
-are currently associated.
-  @albums = @artist.albums
-=== _association_=(object_to_associate) (e.g. artist=) [+many_to_one+ and +one_to_one+]
-The _association_= method sets up an association of the passed object to
-the current object.  For +many_to_one+ associations, this sets the
-foreign key for the current object to point to the associated
-object's primary key.
-  @album.artist = @artist
-For +one_to_one+ associations, this sets the foreign key of the
-associated object to the primary key value of the current object.
-For +many_to_one+ associations, this does not save the current object.
-For +one_to_one+ associations, this does save the associated object.
-=== add_<i>association</i>(object_to_associate) (e.g. add_album) [+one_to_many+ and +many_to_many+]
-The add_<i>association</i> method associates the passed object to the current
-object.  For +one_to_many+ associations, it sets the foreign key of the
-associated object to the primary key value of the current object, and
-saves the associated object.  For +many_to_many+ associations, this inserts
-a row into the join table with the foreign keys set to the primary key values
-of the current and associated objects.  Note that the singular form of the
-association name is used in this method.
-  @artist.add_album(@album)
-In addition to passing an actual associated object, you can pass a hash,
-and a new associated object will be created from them:
-  @artist.add_album(name: 'RF') # creates Album object
-The add_<i>association</i> method returns the new associated object:
-  @album = @artist.add_album(name: 'RF')
-Note that the add_* methods for +one_to_many+ persist the changes by
-saving the passed in (or newly created) object.  However, to avoid
-silent failures of these methods, they explicitly raise exceptions
-even when raise_on_save_failure is false for the associated model.
-You can disable this behavior (i.e. return nil instead of raising
-exceptions on a save failure) by setting the <tt>:raise_on_save_failure=>false</tt>
-option for the association.
-=== remove_<i>association</i>(object_to_disassociate) (e.g. remove_album) [+one_to_many+ and +many_to_many+]
-The remove_<i>association</i> method disassociates the passed object from
-the current object.  For +one_to_many+ associations, it sets the foreign key of
-the associated object to NULL, and saves the associated object.  For
-+many_to_many+ associations, this deletes the matching row in the join table.
-Similar to the add_<i>association</i> method, the singular form of the
-association name is used in this method.
-  @artist.remove_album(@album)
-Note that this does not delete <tt>@album</tt> from the database, it only
-disassociates it from the <tt>@artist</tt>.  To delete <tt>@album</tt> from the
-database:
-  @album.destroy
-The add_<i>association</i> and remove_<i>association</i> methods should be
-thought of as adding and removing from the association, not from the database.
-In addition to passing the object directly to remove_<i>association</i>, you
-can also pass the associated object's primary key:
-  @artist.remove_album(10)
-This will look up the associated object using the key, and remove that
-album.
-The remove_<i>association</i> method returns the now disassociated object:
-  @album = @artist.remove_album(10)
-=== remove_all_<i>association</i> (e.g. remove_all_albums) [+one_to_many+ and +many_to_many+]
-The remove_all_<i>association</i> method disassociates all currently associated
-objects.  For +one_to_many+ associations, it sets the foreign key of
-all associated objects to NULL in a single query.  For +many_to_many+
-associations, this deletes all matching rows in the join table.
-Unlike the add_<i>association</i> and remove_<i>association</i> method, the
-plural form of the association name is used in this method.
-The remove_all_<i>association</i> method returns the previously cached associated
-records, or nil if there were no cached associated records.
-=== <i>association</i>_dataset (e.g. albums_dataset)
-The <i>association</i>_dataset method returns a dataset that represents
-all associated objects.  This dataset is like any other Sequel dataset,
-in that it can be filtered, ordered, etc.:
-  ds = @artist.albums_dataset.where(Sequel.like(:name, 'A%')).order(:copies_sold)
-Unlike most other Sequel datasets, association datasets have a couple of
-added methods:
-  ds.model_object # @artist
-  ds.association_reflection # same as Artist.association_reflection(:albums)
-For a more info on Sequel's reflection capabilities see the {Reflection page}[rdoc-ref:doc/reflection.rdoc].
-== Overriding Method Behavior
-Sequel is designed to be very flexible.  If the default behavior of the
-association modification methods isn't what you desire, you can override
-the methods in your classes.  However, you should be aware that for each
-of the association modification methods described, there is a private
-method that is preceeded by an underscore that does the actual
-modification.  The public method without the underscore handles caching
-and callbacks, and shouldn't be overridden by the user.
-In addition to overriding the private method in your class, you can also
-use association options to change which method Sequel defines.  The
-only difference between the two is that if you use an association option
-to change the method Sequel defines, you cannot call super to get the
-default behavior.
-=== :setter (_<i>association</i>= method)
-Let's say you want to set a specific field whenever associating an object
-using the association setter method.  For example, let's say you have
-a file_under column for each album to tell you where to file it.  If the
-album is associated with an artist, it should be filed under the artist's
-name and the album's name, otherwise it should just use the album's name.
-  class Album < Sequel::Model
-    many_to_one :artist, setter: (lambda do |artist|
-      if artist
-        self.artist_id = artist.id
-        self.file_under = "#{artist.name}-#{name}"
-      else
-        self.artist_id = nil
-        self.file_under = name
-      end
-    end)
-  end
-The above example is contrived, as you would generally use a before_save model
-hook to handle such a modification.  However, if you only modify the album's
-artist using the artist= method, this approach may perform better.
-=== :adder (\_add_<i>association</i> method)
-Continuing with the same example, here's how you would handle the same case if
-you also wanted to handle the Artist#add_album method:
-  class Artist < Sequel::Model
-    one_to_many :albums, adder: (lambda do |album|
-      album.update(artist_id: id, file_under: "#{name}-#{album.name}")
-    end)
-  end
-=== :remover (\_remove_<i>association</i> method)
-Continuing with the same example, here's how you would handle the same case if
-you also wanted to handle the Artist#remove_album method:
-  class Artist < Sequel::Model
-    one_to_many :albums, remover: (lambda do |album|
-      album.update(artist_id: nil, file_under: album.name)
-    end)
-  end
-=== :clearer (\_remove_all_<i>association</i> method)
-Continuing with the same example, here's how you would handle the same case if
-you also wanted to handle the Artist#remove_all_albums method:
-  class Artist < Sequel::Model
-    one_to_many :albums, clearer: (lambda do
-      # This is Dataset#update, not Model#update, so the file_under: :name
-      # ends up being "SET file_under = name" in SQL.
-      albums_dataset.update(artist_id: nil, file_under: :name)
-    end)
-  end
-== Association Options
-Sequel's associations mostly share the same options.  For ease of understanding,
-they are grouped here by section.
-The defaults for any of these options can be set at the class level using
-<tt>Sequel::Model.default_association_options</tt>.  To make
-associations read only by default:
-  Sequel::Model.default_association_options[:read_only] = true
-Many of these options are specific to particular association types, and
-the defaults can be set on a per association type basis.  To make one_to_many
-associations read only by default:
-  Sequel::Model.default_association_type_options[:one_to_many] = {read_only: true}
-=== Association Dataset Modification Options
-==== block
-All association defining methods take a block that is passed the
-default dataset and should return a modified copy of the dataset to
-use for the association.  For example, if you wanted an association
-that returns all albums of an artist that went gold (sold at least
-500,000 copies):
-  Artist.one_to_many :gold_albums, class: :Album do |ds|
-    ds.where{copies_sold > 500000}
-  end
-The result of the block is cached as an optimization.  One of the side
-effects of that is that if your block depends on external state, it won't
-work correctly unless you setup a delayed evaluation.  For example:
-  Artist.one_to_many :gold_albums, class: :Album do |ds|
-    ds.where{copies_sold > $gold_limit}
-  end
-In this case if you change <tt>$gold_limit</tt> later, the changes won't
-effect the association.  If you want to pick up changes to <tt>$gold_limit</tt>,
-you need to setup a delayed evaluation:
-  Artist.one_to_many :gold_albums, class: :Album do |ds|
-    ds.where{copies_sold > Sequel.delay{$gold_limit}}
-  end
-==== :class
-This is the class of the associated objects that will be used.  It's
-one of the most commonly used options.  If it is not given, it guesses
-based on the name of the association, including considering the namespace
-of the current model.  If a *_to_many association is used, this uses the
-singular form of the association name.  For example:
-  Album.many_to_one :artist # guesses Artist
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums # guesses Album
-  Foo::Artist.one_to_many :albums # guesses Foo::Album
-However, for more complex associations, especially ones that add
-additional filters beyond the foreign/primary key relationships, the
-default class guessed will be wrong:
-  # guesses GoldAlbum
-  Artist.one_to_many :gold_albums do |ds|
-    ds.where{copies_sold > 500000}
-  end
-You can specify the :class option using the class itself, a Symbol,
-or a String:
-  Album.many_to_one :artist, class: Artist   # Class
-  Album.many_to_one :artist, class: :Artist  # Symbol
-  Album.many_to_one :artist, class: "Artist" # String
-If you are namespacing your models, and you need to specify the :class
-option, the path you give to the :class option should be the full path
-to the associated class including any namespaces:
-  Foo::Album.many_to_one :artist                       # Uses Foo::Artist
-  Foo::Album.many_to_one :artist, class: "Artist"      # Uses Artist
-  Foo::Album.many_to_one :artist, class: "Foo::Artist" # Uses Foo::Artist
-==== :key
-For +many_to_one+ associations, this is the foreign_key in the current model's
-table that references the associated model's primary key as a symbol.
-Defaults to :<i>association</i>_id.
-  Album.many_to_one :artist, key: :artistid
-For +one_to_one+ and +one_to_many+ associations, is the foreign key in
-associated model's table that references current model's primary key, as a
-symbol.  Defaults to :"#{self.name.underscore}_id".
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums, key: :artistid
-In both cases an array of symbols can be used for a composite key association:
-  Apartment.many_to_one :building, key: [:city, :address]
-==== :conditions
-The conditions to use to filter the association, can be any argument passed to +where+.
-If you use a hash or an array of two element arrays, this will also be used as a
-filter when using eager_graph or association_join to load the association.
-If you do not use a hash or array of two element arrays, you should use the
-:graph_conditions, :graph_only_conditions, or :graph_block option or you will not
-be able to use eager_graph or association_join with the association.
-  Artist.one_to_many :good_albums, class: :Album, conditions: {:good=>true}
-  @artist.good_albums
-  # SELECT * FROM albums WHERE ((artist_id = 1) AND (good IS TRUE))
-==== :order
-The column(s) by which to order the association dataset.  Can be a
-singular column or an array.
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums_by_name, class: :Album, order: :name
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums_by_num_tracks, class: :Album, order: [:num_tracks, :name]
-==== :select
-The columns to SELECT when loading the association.  For most associations,
-it defaults to nil, so * is used.  For +many_to_many+ associations, it
-defaults to the associated class's table_name.*, which means it doesn't include
-the columns from the join table.  This is to prevent the common issue where the
-join table includes columns with the same name as columns in the associated
-table, in which case the joined table's columns would usually end up clobbering
-the values in the associated table. If you want to include the join table
-attributes, you can use this option, but beware that the join table columns
-can clash with columns from the associated table, so you should alias any
-columns that have the same name in both the join table and the associated
-table.  Example:
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums, select: [:id, :name]
-  Album.many_to_many :tags, select: [Sequel[:tags].*, Sequel[:albums_tags][:number]]
-==== :limit
-Limit the number of records to the provided value:
-  Artist.one_to_many :best_selling_albums, class: :Album, order: :copies_sold, limit: 5
-Use an array with two arguments for the value to specify a limit and an offset.
-  Artist.one_to_many :next_best_selling_albums, class: :Album, order: :copies_sold, limit: [10, 5]
-  # LIMIT 10 OFFSET 5
-This probably doesn't make a lot of sense for *_to_one associations, though you
-could use it to specify an offset.
-==== :join_table [+many_to_many+, +one_through_one+]
-Name of table that includes the foreign keys to both the current model and the
-associated model, as a symbol.  Defaults to the name of current model and name
-of associated model, pluralized, underscored, sorted, and joined with '_'.
-Here's an example of the defaults:
-  Artist.many_to_many :albums, join_table: :albums_artists
-  Album.many_to_many :artists, join_table: :albums_artists
-  Person.many_to_many :colleges, join_table: :colleges_people
-==== :left_key [+many_to_many+, +one_through_one+]
-Foreign key in join table that points to current model's primary key, as a
-symbol.  Defaults to :"#{model_name.underscore}_id".
-  Album.many_to_many :tags, left_key: :album_id
-Can use an array of symbols for a composite key association.
-==== :right_key [+many_to_many+, +one_through_one+]
-Foreign key in join table that points to associated model's primary key, as a
-symbol.  Defaults to :"#{association_name.singularize}_id" for +many_to_many+
-and :"#{association_name}_id" for +one_through_one+.
-  Album.many_to_many :tags, right_key: :tag_id
-Can use an array of symbols for a composite key association.
-==== :distinct
-Use the DISTINCT clause when selecting associating object, both when lazy
-loading and eager loading via eager (but not when using eager_graph).
-This is most useful for many_to_many associations that use join tables that
-contain more than just the foreign keys, where you are storing additional
-information.  For example, if you have a database of people, degree types, and
-colleges, and you want to return all people from a given college, you may want
-to use :distinct so that if a person has two separate degrees from the same
-college, they won't show up twice.
-==== :clone
-The :clone option clones an existing association, taking the options
-you specified for that association, and making a copy of them for this
-association.  Other options provided by this association are then merged
-into the cloned options.
-This is commonly used if you have a bunch of similar associations that
-you want to DRY up:
-  one_to_many :english_verses, class: :LyricVerse, key: :lyricsongid,
-    order: :number, conditions: {languageid: 1}
-  one_to_many :romaji_verses, clone: :english_verses, conditions: {languageid: 2}
-  one_to_many :japanese_verses, clone: :english_verses, conditions: {languageid: 3}
-Note that for the final two asociations, you didn't have to specify the :class,
-:key, or :order options, as they were copied by the :clone option.  By specifying
-the :conditions option for the final two associations, it overrides the :conditions
-option of the first association, it doesn't attempt to merge them.
-In addition to the options hash, the :clone option will copy a block argument
-from the existing situation.  If you want a cloned association to not have the
-same block as the association you are cloning from, specify the block: nil option
-in additon to the :clone option.
-==== :dataset
-This is generally only specified for custom associations that aren't based on
-primary/foreign key relationships.  It should be a proc that is instance_execed
-to get the base dataset to use before the other options are applied.
-If the proc accepts an argument, it is passed the related association reflection.
-For best performance, it's recommended that custom associations call the
-+associated_dataset+ method on the association reflection as the starting point
-for the dataset to return.  The +associated_dataset+ method will return a
-dataset based on the associated class with most of the association options
-already applied, and the proc should return a modified copy of this dataset.
-Here's an example of an association of songs to artists through lyrics, where
-the artist can perform any one of four tasks for the lyric:
-  Album.one_to_many :songs, dataset: (lambda do |r|
-    r.associated_dataset.select_all(:songs).
-     join(:lyrics, id: :lyricid, id=>[:composer_id, :arranger_id, :vocalist_id, :lyricist_id])
-  end)
-  Artist.first.songs_dataset
-  # SELECT songs.* FROM songs
-  # INNER JOIN lyrics ON ((lyrics.id = songs.lyric_id)
-  #   AND (1 IN (composer_id, arranger_id, vocalist_id, lyricist_id))
-==== :extend
-A module or array of modules to extend the dataset with.  These are used to
-set up association extensions.  For more information , please see the
-{Advanced Associations page}[rdoc-ref:doc/advanced_associations.rdoc].
-==== :primary_key [+many_to_one+, +one_to_one+, +one_to_many+]
-The column that the :key option references, as a symbol. For +many_to_one+
-associations, this column is in the associated table. For +one_to_one+ and
-+one_to_many+ associations, this column is in the current table.  In both cases,
-it defaults to the primary key of the table. Can use an
-array of symbols for a composite key association.
-  Artist.set_primary_key :arid
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums, primary_key: :arid
-  Album.one_to_many :artist, primary_key: :arid
-==== :left_primary_key [+many_to_many+, +one_through_one+]
-Column in current table that :left_key option points to, as a symbol.
-Defaults to primary key of current table.
-  Album.set_primary_key :alid
-  Album.many_to_many :tags, left_primary_key: :alid
-Can use an array of symbols for a composite key association.
-==== :right_primary_key [+many_to_many+, +one_through_one+]
-Column in associated table that :right_key points to, as a symbol.
-Defaults to primary key of the associated table.
-  Tag.set_primary_key :tid
-  Album.many_to_many :tags, right_primary_key: :tid
-Can use an array of symbols for a composite key association.
-==== :join_table_block [+many_to_many+, +one_through_one+]
-A proc that can be used to modify the dataset used in the add/remove/remove_all
-methods.  It's separate from the association block, as that is called on a
-join of the join table and the associated table, whereas this option just
-applies to the join table.  It can be used to make sure that filters are used
-when deleting.
-  Artist.many_to_many :lead_guitar_albums, class: :Album, :join_table_block=>(lambda do |ds|
-    ds.where(instrument_id: 5)
-  end)
-=== Callback Options
-All callbacks can be specified as a Symbol, Proc, or array of both/either
-specifying a callback to call.  Symbols are interpreted as instance methods
-that are called with the associated object.  Procs are called with the receiver
-as the first argument and the associated object as the second argument.  If
-an array is given, all of them are called in order.
-Before callbacks are often used to check preconditions, they can call Model#cancel_action
-to signal Sequel to abort the modification.  If any before callback
-calls cancel_action, the remaining before callbacks are not called and the modification
-is aborted.
-==== :before_add [+one_to_many+, +many_to_many+]
-Called before adding an object to the association:
-  class Artist
-    # Don't allow adding an album to an artist if it has no tracks
-    one_to_many :albums, before_add: lambda{|ar, al| ar.cancel_action if al.num_tracks == 0}
-  end
-==== :after_add [+one_to_many+, +many_to_many+]
-Called after adding an object to the association:
-  class Artist
-    # Log all associations of albums to an audit logging table
-    one_to_many :albums, after_add: :log_add_album
-    private
-    def log_add_album(album)
-      DB[:audit_logs].insert(log: "Album #{album.inspect} associated to #{inspect}")
-    end
-  end
-==== :before_remove [+one_to_many+, +many_to_many+]
-Called before removing an object from the association using <tt>remove_<i>association</i></tt>:
-  class Artist
-    # Don't allow removing a self-titled album
-    one_to_many :albums, before_remove: lambda{|ar, al| ar.cancel_action if al.name == ar.name}
-  end
-This is not called when using <tt>remove_all_<i>association</i></tt>.
-==== :after_remove [+one_to_many+, +many_to_many+]
-Called after removing an object from the association using <tt>remove_<i>association</i></tt>:
-  class Artist
-    # Log all disassociations of albums to an audit logging table
-    one_to_many :albums, after_remove: :log_remove_album
-    private
-    def log_remove_album(album)
-      DB[:audit_logs].insert(log: "Album #{album.inspect} disassociated from #{inspect}")
-    end
-  end
-This is not called when using <tt>remove_all_<i>association</i></tt>.
-==== :before_set [+many_to_one+, +one_to_one+]
-Called before the _<i>association</i>= method is called to modify the objects:
-  class Album
-    # Don't associate the album with an artist if the year the album was
-    # released is less than the year the artist/band started.
-    many_to_one :artist, before_set: lambda{|al, ar| al.cancel_action if al.year < ar.year_started}
-  end
-==== :after_set [+many_to_one+, +one_to_one+]
-Called after the _<i>association</i>= method is called to modify the objects:
-  class Album
-    # Log all disassociations of albums to an audit logging table
-    many_to_one :artist, after_set: :log_artist_set
-    private
-    def log_artist_set(artist)
-      DB[:audit_logs].insert(log: "Artist for album #{inspect} set to #{artist.inspect}")
-    end
-  end
-==== :after_load
-Called after retrieving the associated records from the database.
-  class Artist
-    # Cache all album names to a single string when retrieving the albums.
-    one_to_many :albums, after_load: :cache_album_names
-    attr_reader :album_names
-    private
-    def cache_album_names(albums)
-      @album_names = albums.map(&:name).join(", ")
-    end
-  end
-Generally used if you know you will always want a certain action done
-when retrieving the association.
-For +one_to_many+ and +many_to_many+ associations, both the argument to
-symbol callbacks and the second argument to proc callbacks will be an
-array of associated objects instead of a single object.
-==== :uniq [+many_to_many+]
-Adds a after_load callback that makes the array of objects unique. In many
-cases, using the :distinct option is a better approach.
-=== Eager Loading via eager (query per association) Options
-==== :eager
-The associations to eagerly load via eager when loading the associated object(s).
-This is useful for example if you always want to eagerly load dependent
-associations when loading this association.
-For example, if you know that any time that you want to load an artist's
-albums, you are also going to want access to the album's tracks as well:
-  # Eager load tracks when loading the albums
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums, eager: :tracks
-You can also use a hash or array to specify multiple dependent associations
-to eagerly load:
-  # Eager load the albums' tracks and the tracks' tags when loading the albums
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums, eager: {tracks: :tags}
-  # Eager load the albums' tags and tracks when loading the albums
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums, eager: [:tags, :tracks]
-  # Eager load the albums' tags, tracks, and tracks' tags when loading the albums
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums, eager: [:tags, {tracks: :tags}]
-==== :eager_loader
-A custom loader to use when eagerly load associated objects via eager.
-For many details and examples of custom eager loaders, please see the
-{Advanced Associations guide}[rdoc-ref:doc/advanced_associations.rdoc].
-==== :eager_loader_key
-A symbol for the key column to use to populate the key hash for the eager
-loader.  Generally does not need to be set manually, defaults to the key
-method used.  Can be set to nil to not populate the key hash (better for
-performance if a custom eager loader does not use the key_hash).
-==== :eager_block
-If given, should be a proc to use instead of the association method block
-when eagerly loading.  To not use a block when eager loading when one is
-used normally, set to nil.  It's very uncommon to need this option.
-=== Eager Loading via eager_graph (one query with joins) Options
-==== :eager_graph
-The associations to eagerly load via eager_graph when loading the associated
-object(s). This is useful for example if you always want to eagerly load dependent
-associations when loading this association, but you want to filter or order the
-association based on dependent associations:
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums_with_short_tracks, class: :Album, eager_graph: :tracks do |ds|
-    ds.where{tracks[:seconds] < 120}
-  end
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums_by_track_name, class: :Album, eager_graph: :tracks do |ds|
-    ds.order{tracks[:name]}
-  end
-You can also use a hash or array of arguments for :eager_graph, similar to
-what the :eager option accepts.
-==== :graph_conditions
-The additional conditions to use on the SQL join when eagerly loading the
-association via eager_graph.  Should be a hash or an array of two element
-arrays.  If not specified, the :conditions option is used if it is a hash or
-array of two element arrays.
-  Artist.one_to_many :active_albums, class: :Album, graph_conditions: {active: true}
-Note that these conditions on the association are in addition to the default
-conditions specified by the foreign/primary keys.  If you want to replace
-the conditions specified by the foreign/primary keys, you need the
-:graph_only_conditions options.
-==== :graph_block
-The block to pass to Dataset#join_table when eagerly loading the association
-via eager_graph.  This is useful to specify conditions that can't be specified
-in a hash or array of two element arrays.
-  Artist.one_to_many :gold_albums, class: :Album,
-    graph_block: proc{|j,lj,js| Sequel[j][:copies_sold] > 500000}
-==== :graph_join_type
-The type of SQL join to use when eagerly loading the association via
-eager_graph.  Defaults to :left_outer.  This is useful if you want to
-ensure that only artists that have albums are returned:
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums, graph_join_type: :inner
-  # Will exclude artists without an album
-  Artist.eager_graph(:albums).all
-==== :graph_select
-A column or array of columns to select from the associated table
-when eagerly loading the association via eager_graph. Defaults to all
-columns in the associated table.
-==== :graph_only_conditions
-The conditions to use on the SQL join when eagerly loading the association via
-eager_graph, instead of the default conditions specified by the
-foreign/primary keys.  This option causes the :graph_conditions option to be
-ignored.  This can be useful if the keys you are using are strings and you
-want to do a case insensitive comparison.  For example, let's say that instead
-of integer keys, you used string keys based on the album or artist name, and
-that the album was associated to the artist by name.  However, you weren't
-enforcing case sensitivity between the keys, so you still want to return albums
-where the artist's name differs in case:
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums, key: :artist_name,
-    graph_only_conditions: nil,
-    graph_block: (proc do |j,lj,js|
-      {Sequel.function(:lower, Sequel[j][:artist_name])=> Sequel.function(:lower, Sequel[lj][:name])}
-    end)
-Note how :graph_only_conditions is set to nil to ignore any existing conditions,
-and :graph_block is used to set up the case insensitive comparison.
-Another case where :graph_only_conditions may be used is if you want to use
-a JOIN USING or NATURAL JOIN for the graph:
-  # JOIN USING
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums, key: :artist_name, graph_only_conditions: [:artist_name]
-  # NATURAL JOIN
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums, key: :artist_name, graph_only_conditions: nil, graph_join_type: :natural
-==== :graph_alias_base
-The base name to use for the table alias when eager graphing.  Defaults to the name
-of the association.  If the alias name has already been used in the query, Sequel will create
-a unique alias by appending a numeric suffix (e.g. alias_0, alias_1, ...) until the alias is
-unique.
-This is mostly useful if you have associations with the same name in many models, and you want
-to be able to easily tell which table alias corresponds to which association when eagerly
-graphing multiple associations with the same name.
-You can override this option on a per-eager_graph basis by specifying the association as an
-SQL::AliasedExpression instead of a symbol:
-  Album.eager_graph(Sequel.as(:artist, :a))
-==== :eager_grapher
-Sets up a custom grapher to use when eager loading the objects via eager_graph.
-This is the eager_graph analogue to the :eager_loader option. This isn't generally
-needed, as one of the other eager_graph related association options is usually sufficient.
-If specified, should be a proc that accepts a single hash argument, which will contain
-at least the following keys:
-:callback :: A callback proc used to dynamically modify the dataset to graph into the
-             current dataset, before such graphing is done. This is nil if no callback
-             proc is used.
-:implicit_qualifier :: The alias that was used for the current table (since you can cascade associations).
-:join_type :: Override the join type to use when graphing.
-:limit_strategy :: The limit strategy symbol to use when graphing (for limited associations only)
-:self :: The dataset that is doing the eager loading
-:table_alias :: An alias to use for the table to graph for this association.
-Example:
-  Artist.one_to_many :self_title_albums, class: :Album,
-   :eager_grapher=>(lambda do |eo|
-    eo[:self].graph(:albums, {artist_id: :id, name: :name},
-      table_alias: eo[:table_alias], implicit_qualifier: eo[:implicit_qualifier])
-  end)
-==== :order_eager_graph
-Whether to add the order to the dataset's order when graphing via eager_graph.
-Defaults to true, so set to false to disable.
-Sequel has to do some guess work when attempting to add the association's
-order to an eager_graphed dataset.  In most cases it does so correctly, but
-if it has problems, you'll probably want to set this option to false.
-==== :graph_order
-Override the order added when using eager_graph, instead of using the one
-defined in :order.  This is useful if :order contains qualified identifiers,
-as the qualifiers may not match the aliases automatically used by eager_graph.
-This should contain unqualified identifiers, and eager_graph will automatically
-qualify them with the appropriate alias.
-==== :graph_join_table_conditions [+many_to_many+, +one_through_one+]
-The additional conditions to use on the SQL join for the join table when
-eagerly loading the association via eager_graph. Should be a hash or an array
-of two element arrays.
-Let's say you have a database of people, colleges, and a table called
-degrees_received that includes a string field specifying the name of the
-degree, and you want to eager load all colleges for people where the person
-has received a specific degree:
-  Person.many_to_many :bs_degree_colleges, class: :College,
-    join_table: :degrees_received,
-    graph_join_table_conditions: {degree: 'BS'}
-==== :graph_join_table_block [+many_to_many+, +one_through_one+]
-The block to pass to join_table for the join table when eagerly loading the
-association via eager_graph.  This is used for similar reasons as :graph_block,
-but is only used for +many_to_many+ associations when graphing the join
-table into the dataset.  It's used in the same place as
-:graph_join_table_conditions but like :graph_block, is needed for situations
-where the conditions can't be specified as a hash or array of two element
-arrays.
-Let's say you have a database of people, colleges, and a table called
-degrees_received that includes a string field specifying the name of the
-degree, and you want to eager load all colleges for people where the person
-has received a bachelor's degree (degree starting with B):
-  Person.many_to_many :bachelor_degree_colleges, class: :College,
-    join_table: :degrees_received,
-    graph_join_table_block: proc{|j,lj,js| Sequel[j][:degree].like('B%')}
-This should be done when graphing the join table, instead of when graphing the
-final table, as :degree is a column of the join table.
-==== :graph_join_table_join_type [+many_to_many+, +one_through_one+]
-The type of SQL join to use for the join table when eagerly loading the
-association via eager_graph.  Defaults to the :graph_join_type option or
-:left_outer.  This exists mainly for consistency in the unlikely case that
-you want to use a different join type when JOINing to the join table then
-you want to use for JOINing to the final table
-==== :graph_join_table_only_conditions [+many_to_many+, +one_through_one+]
-The conditions to use on the SQL join for the join table when eagerly loading
-the association via eager_graph, instead of the default conditions specified
-by the foreign/primary keys.  This option causes the
-:graph_join_table_conditions option to be ignored.  This is only useful if
-you want to replace the default foreign/primary key conditions that Sequel
-would use when eagerly graphing.
-=== Associations Based on SQL Expressions Options
-Sequel's associations can work not just with columns, but also with
-arbitrary SQL expressions.  For example, on PostgreSQL, you can store
-foreign keys to other tables in hstore, json, or jsonb columns, and Sequel
-can work with such constructs, including full support for
-eager loading.
-There's actually two parts to supporting associations based on SQL
-expressions.  First is you must have an instance method in the model
-that returns the value that the SQL expression would return. Second
-is you must have an SQL expression object.  If Sequel has access to
-a model instance and needs to get the value of the expression, it
-calls the method to get the value.  If Sequel does not have access
-to a model instance, but needs to use the SQL expression in a query,
-it will use the SQL expression object.
-Below is an example storing foreign keys to other tables in a
-PostgreSQL hstore column, using the +pg_json+ and +pg_json_ops+
-extensions.
-  # Example schema:
-  #  albums          artists
-  #   :id       /---> :id
-  #   :meta ---/      :name
-  #   :name
-  class Album < Sequel::Model
-    many_to_one :artist, key_column: Sequel.pg_jsonb(:meta)['artist_id'].cast(String).cast(Integer)
-    def artist_id
-      meta['artist_id'].to_i
-    end
-  end
-  class Artist < Sequel::Model
-    one_to_many :albums, key: Sequel.pg_jsonb(:meta)['artist_id'].cast(String).cast(Integer), key_method: :artist_id
-  end
-  # Example schema:
-  #  albums   albums_artists   artists
-  #   :id  <----- :meta -------> :id
-  #   :name                      :name
-  class Album < Sequel::Model
-    many_to_many :artists, left_key: Sequel.pg_jsonb(:meta)['album_id'].cast(String).cast(Integer),
-      right_key: Sequel.pg_jsonb(:meta)['artist_id'].cast(String).cast(Integer)
-  end
-  class Artist < Sequel::Model
-    many_to_many :albums, left_key: Sequel.pg_jsonb(:meta)['artist_id'].cast(String).cast(Integer),
-      right_key: Sequel.pg_jsonb(:meta)['album_id'].cast(String).cast(Integer)
-  end
-==== :key_column [+many_to_one+]
-Like the :key option, but :key references the method name, while
-:key_column references the underlying column/expression.
-==== :primary_key_method [+many_to_one+]
-Like the :primary_key option, but :primary_key references the column/expression
-name, while :primary_key_method references the method name.
-==== :primary_key_column [+one_to_many+, +one_to_one+]
-Like the :primary_key option, but :primary_key references the method name, while
-:primary_key_column references the underlying column/expression.
-==== :key_method [+one_to_many+, +one_to_one+]
-Like the :key option, but :key references the column/expression
-name, while :key_method references the method name.
-==== :left_primary_key_column [+many_to_many+, +one_through_one+]
-Like the :left_primary_key option, but :left_primary_key references the method name, while
-:left_primary_key_column references the underlying column/expression.
-==== :right_primary_key_method [+many_to_many+, +one_through_one+]
-Like the :right_primary_key option, but :right_primary_key references the column/expression
-name, while :right_primary_key_method references the method name.
-=== Advanced Options
-==== :reciprocal
-The symbol name of the reciprocal association, if it exists.  By default,
-Sequel will try to determine it by looking at the associated model's
-associations for a association that matches the current association's key(s).
-Set to nil to not use a reciprocal.
-Reciprocals are used in Sequel to modify the matching cached associations
-in associated objects when calling association methods on the current object.
-For example, when you retrieve objects in a one_to_many association, Sequel will
-automatically set the matching many_to_one association in the associated
-objects.  The result of this is that code that does this:
-  @artist.albums.each{|album| album.artist.name}
-only does one database query, because when the @artist's albums are retrieved,
-the cached artist association for each album is set to @artist.
-In addition to the one_to_many retrieval case, the association modification
-methods affect the reciprocals as well:
-  # Sets the cached artist association for @album to @artist
-  @artist.add_album(@album)
-  # Sets the cached artist association for @album to nil
-  @artist.remove_album(@album)
-  # Sets the cached artist association to nil for the @artist's
-  # cached albums association
-  @artist.remove_all_albums
-  # Remove @album from the artist1's cached albums association, and add @album
-  # to @artist2's cached albums association.
-  @album.artist # @artist1
-  @album.artist = @artist2
-Sequel can usually guess the correct reciprocal, but if you have multiple
-associations to the same associated class that use the same keys, you may
-want to specify the :reciprocal option manually to ensure the correct
-one is used.
-==== :read_only
-For +many_to_one+ and +one_to_one+ associations, do not add a setter method.
-For +one_to_many+ and +many_to_many+, do not add the add_<i>association</i>,
-remove_<i>association</i>, or remove_all_<i>association</i> methods.
-If the default modification methods would not do what you want, and you
-don't plan on overriding the internal modification methods to do what you
-want, it may be best to set this option to true.
-==== :validate
-Set to false to not validate when implicitly saving any associated object.
-When using the +one_to_many+ association modification methods, the +one_to_one+
-setter method, or creating a new object by passing a hash to the
-add_<i>association</i> method, Sequel will automatically save the object.
-If you don't want to validate objects when these implicit saves are done,
-the validate option should be set to false.
-==== :raise_on_save_failure [+one_to_many+ associations]
-Set to false to not raise an exception when validation or a before hook
-fails when implicitly saving an associated object in the add_* or remove_*
-methods.  This mirrors the raise_on_save_failure model setting, which these
-methods do not respect (by design).
-If you use this option, you must explicitly check all add_* and remove_* return
-values to see if they were successful.
-==== :allow_eager
-If set to false, you cannot load the association eagerly via eager or
-eager_graph.
-  Artist.one_to_many :albums, allow_eager: false
-  Artist.eager(:albums) # Raises Sequel::Error
-This is usually used if the association dataset depends on specific values in
-model instance that would not be valid when eager loading for multiple
-instances.
-==== :instance_specific
-This allows you to override the setting of whether the dataset contains instance
-specific code.  For example, if you are passing a block to the association,
-Sequel sets this to true by default, which disables some optimizations that
-would be invalid if the association is instance specific.  If you know that the
-block does not contain instance specific code, you can set this to false to
-reenable the optimizations.
-==== :cartesian_product_number
-The number of joins completed by this association that could cause more
-than one row for each row in the current table (default: 0 for *_one
-associations, 1 for *_to_many associations).
-This should only be modified in specific cases.  For example, if you have
-a one_to_one association that can actually return more than one row
-(where the default association method will just return the first), or
-a many_to_many association where there is a unique index in the join table
-so that you know only one object will ever be associated through the
-association.
-==== :class_namespace
-If the :class option is specified as a symbol or string, the default namespace
-in which to look up the class. If the :class option is not specified as a
-symbol or string, this option is ignored.  This namespace can be overridden
-by starting the string or symbol with <tt>::</tt>:
-  Foo::Album.many_to_one :artist, class: "Artist"                                # Uses Artist
-  Foo::Album.many_to_one :artist, class: "Artist", class_namespace: 'Foo'        # Uses Foo::Artist
-  Foo::Album.many_to_one :artist, class: "Foo::Artist", class_namespace: 'Foo'   # Uses Foo::Foo::Artist
-  Foo::Album.many_to_one :artist, class: "::Artist", class_namespace: 'Foo'      # Uses Artist
-  Foo::Album.many_to_one :artist, class: "::Foo::Artist", class_namespace: 'Foo' # Uses Foo::Artist
-==== :methods_module
-The module that the methods created by the association will be placed
-into.  Defaults to the module containing the model's columns.  Any module
-given to this option is not included in the model's class automatically,
-so you are responsible for doing that manually.
-This is only useful in rare cases, such as when a plugin that adds
-associations depends on another plugin that defines instance methods of
-the same name.  In that case, the instance methods of the dependent
-plugin would override the association methods created by the main
-plugin.
-==== :eager_limit_strategy
-This setting determines what strategy to use for eager loading the associations
-that use the :limit setting to limit the number of returned records. You
-can't use LIMIT directly, since you want a limit for each group of
-associated records, not a LIMIT on the total number of records returned
-by the dataset.
-In general, Sequel picks an appropriate strategy, so it is not usually
-necessary to specify a strategy.  You can specify true for this option to
-have Sequel choose which strategy to use (this is the default).  You can
-specify a symbol to manually choose a strategy.  The available strategies are:
-:union :: Uses one or more UNION queries with a subquery for each record
-          you are eagerly loading for (this is the default strategy).
-:distinct_on :: Uses DISTINCT ON to ensure only the first matching record
-                is loaded (only used for one_*_one associations without
-                offsets on PostgreSQL).
-:window_function :: Uses a ROW_NUMBER window functions to ensure the
-                    correctly limited/offset records are returned.
-:ruby :: Uses ruby array slicing to emulate database limiting/offsetting.
-==== :subqueries_per_union
-The number of subqueries per union query to use when eager loading for a
-limited association using a union strategy.  This defaults to 40, but the
-optimum number depends on the database in use and the latency between the
-database and the application.
-==== :filter_limit_strategy
-The strategy to use when filtering by limited associations.  In general
-Sequel will choose either a :distinct_on, :window_function, or
-:correlated_subquery strategy based on the association type and what
-the database supports, but you can override that if necessary using
-this option.
