# ActiveRecord::Transactions::ClassMethods.transaction uses this exception

# Normally, raising an exception will cause the +transaction+ method to rollback

# ActiveRecord::Rollback exception, then the database transaction will be rolled back,
# without passing on the exception.
#
# For example, you could do this in your controller to rollback a transaction:
#
# class BooksController < ActionController::Base
# def create
# Book.transaction do
# book = Book.new(params[:book])
# book.save!
# if today_is_friday?
# # The system must fail on Friday so that our support department
# # won't be out of job. We silently rollback this transaction
# # without telling the user.
# raise ActiveRecord::Rollback, "Call tech support!"
# end
# end
# # ActiveRecord::Rollback is the only exception that won't be passed on
# # by ActiveRecord::Base.transaction, so this line will still be reached
# # even on Friday.

end
# 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 an 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 authenticate_unsafely method inserts the parameters directly into the query and is thus susceptible to SQL-injection
# attacks if the user_name and +password+ parameters come directly from an HTTP request. The authenticate_safely and
# authenticate_safely_simply both will sanitize the user_name 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, :conditions => [
# "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 })
#
# An array may be used in the hash to use the SQL IN operator:
#
# Student.find(:all, :conditions => { :grade => [9,11,12] })
#
# == Overwriting default accessors
#
# All column values are automatically available through basic accessors on the Active Record object, but sometimes you
# want to specialize this behavior. This can be done by overwriting the default accessors (using the same
# name as the attribute) and 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.to_i * 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, value) and
# read_attribute(:attribute) as a shorter form.
#
# == Attribute query methods
#
# In addition to the basic accessors, query methods are also automatically available on the Active Record object.
# Query methods allow you to test whether an attribute value is present.
#
# For example, an Active Record User with the name attribute has a name? method that you can call
# to determine whether the user has a name:
#
# user = User.new(:name => "David")
# user.name? # => true
#
# anonymous = User.new(:name => "")
# anonymous.name? # => false
#
# == 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 _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 find_by_, find_last_by_, or find_all_by_, so you get finders like Person.find_by_user_name,
# Person.find_all_by_last_name, and Payment.find_by_transaction_id. So instead of writing
# Person.find(:first, :conditions => ["user_name = ?", user_name]), you just do Person.find_by_user_name(user_name).
# And instead of writing Person.find(:all, :conditions => ["last_name = ?", last_name]), you just do Person.find_all_by_last_name(last_name).
#
# It's also possible to use multiple attributes in the same find by separating them with "_and_", so you get finders like
# Person.find_by_user_name_and_password or even Payment.find_by_purchaser_and_state_and_country. So instead of writing
# Person.find(:first, :conditions => ["user_name = ? AND password = ?", user_name, password]), you just do
# Person.find_by_user_name_and_password(user_name, password).
#
# 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 Payment.find_all_by_amount(50, :order => "created_on").
# Also you may call Payment.find_last_by_amount(amount, options) returning the last record matching that amount and options.
#
# The same dynamic finder style can be used to create the object if it doesn't already exist. This dynamic finder is called with
# find_or_create_by_ and will return the object if it already exists and otherwise creates it, then returns it. Protected attributes won't be set unless they are given in a block. For 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")
#
# # Now 'Bob' exist and is an 'admin'
# User.find_or_create_by_name('Bob', :age => 40) { |u| u.admin = true }
#
# Use the find_or_initialize_by_ finder if you want to return a new record without saving it first. Protected attributes won't be set unless they are given in a block. For 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 named "type" (can be changed
# by overwriting Base.inheritance_column). 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 an ActiveRecord::Base, but resides in a different database, you can just say Course.establish_connection
# and Course and all of 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 establish_connection didn't include an
# :adapter key.
# * AdapterNotFound - The :adapter key used in establish_connection specified a 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 serialized object wasn't of the class specified as the second parameter.
# * ConnectionNotEstablished+ - No connection has been established. Use establish_connection 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. Some +find+ calls do not raise this exception to signal
# nothing was found, please check its documentation for further details.
# * StatementInvalid - The database server rejected the SQL statement. The precise error is added in the message.
# * 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
# on to any new database connections made and which can be retrieved on both a class and instance level by calling +logger+.

# Find operates with four 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 be matched, +nil+ is returned. Use
# Model.find(:first, *args) or its shortcut Model.first(*args).
# * Find last - This will return the last record matched by the options used. These options can either be specific
# conditions or merely an order. If no record can be matched, +nil+ is returned. Use
# Model.find(:last, *args) or its shortcut Model.last(*args).
# * Find all - This will return all the records matched by the options used.
# If no records are found, an empty array is returned. Use
# Model.find(:all, *args) or its shortcut Model.all(*args).
#
# All approaches accept an options hash as their last parameter.
#
# ==== Parameters
#
# * :conditions - An SQL fragment like "administrator = 1", [ "user_name = ?", username ], or ["user_name = :user_name", { :user_name => user_name }]. See conditions in the intro.
# * :order - An SQL fragment like "created_at DESC, name".
# * :group - An attribute name by which the result should be grouped. Uses the GROUP BY SQL-clause.
# * :limit - An integer determining the limit on the number of rows that should be returned.
# * :offset - An integer determining the offset from where the rows should be fetched. So at 5, it would skip rows 0 through 4.
# * :joins - Either an SQL fragment for additional joins like "LEFT JOIN comments ON comments.post_id = id" (rarely needed)
# or named associations in the same form used for the :include option, which will perform an INNER JOIN on the associated table(s).
# If the value is a string, then 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.
# * :include - Names associations that should be loaded alongside. The symbols named refer
# to already defined associations. See eager loading under Associations.
# * :select - 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. Takes a string with the SELECT SQL fragment (e.g. "id, name").
# * :from - 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).
# * :readonly - Mark the returned records read-only so they cannot be saved or updated.
# * :lock - An SQL fragment like "FOR UPDATE" or "LOCK IN SHARE MODE".
# :lock => true gives connection's default exclusive lock, usually "FOR UPDATE".
#
# ==== Examples
#
# # find by id
# Person.find(1) # returns the object for ID = 1
# Person.find(1, 2, 6) # returns an array for objects with IDs in (1, 2, 6)
# Person.find([7, 17]) # returns an array for objects with IDs in (7, 17)
# Person.find([1]) # returns an array for the object with ID = 1
# Person.find(1, :conditions => "administrator = 1", :order => "created_on DESC")
#
# Note that returned records may not be in the same order as the ids you
# provide since database rows are unordered. Give an explicit :order
# to ensure the results are sorted.
#
# ==== Examples
#
# # find first
# Person.find(:first) # returns the first object fetched by SELECT * FROM people
# Person.find(:first, :conditions => [ "user_name = ?", user_name])
# Person.find(:first, :conditions => [ "user_name = :u", { :u => user_name }])
# Person.find(:first, :order => "created_on DESC", :offset => 5)
#
# # find last
# Person.find(:last) # returns the last object fetched by SELECT * FROM people
# Person.find(:last, :conditions => [ "user_name = ?", user_name])
# Person.find(:last, :order => "created_on DESC", :offset => 5)
#
# # find all
# Person.find(:all) # returns an array of objects for all the rows fetched by SELECT * FROM people
# Person.find(:all, :conditions => [ "category IN (?)", categories], :limit => 50)
# Person.find(:all, :conditions => { :friends => ["Bob", "Steve", "Fred"] }

# change your call if you switch engines.
#
# ==== Examples
# # A simple SQL query spanning multiple tables
# Post.find_by_sql "SELECT p.title, c.author FROM posts p, comments c WHERE p.id = c.post_id"
# > [#"Ruby Meetup", "first_name"=>"Quentin"}>, ...]
#
# # You can use the same string replacement techniques as you can with ActiveRecord#find
# Post.find_by_sql ["SELECT title FROM posts WHERE author = ? AND created > ?", author_id, start_date]
# > [#"The Cheap Man Buys Twice"}>, ...]

# Checks whether a record exists in the database that matches conditions given. These conditions
# can either be a single integer representing a primary key id to be found, or a condition to be
# matched like using ActiveRecord#find.
#
# The +id_or_conditions+ parameter can be an Integer or a String if you want to search the primary key
# column of the table for a matching id, or if you're looking to match against a condition you can use
# an Array or a Hash.
#
# Possible gotcha: You can't pass in a condition as a string e.g. "name = 'Jamie'", this would be
# sanitized and then queried against the primary key column as "id = 'name = \'Jamie"
#
# ==== Examples
# Person.exists?(5)
# Person.exists?('5')
# Person.exists?(:name => "David")
# Person.exists?(['name LIKE ?', "%#{query}%"])

# The resulting object is returned whether the object was saved successfully to the database or not.
#
# The +attributes+ parameter can be either be a Hash or an Array of Hashes. These Hashes describe the

#
# ==== Parameters
#
# * +id+ - This should be the id or an array of ids to be updated.
# * +attributes+ - This should be a Hash of attributes to be set on the object, or an array of Hashes.
#
# ==== Examples
#
# # Updating one record:
# Person.update(15, { :user_name => 'Samuel', :group => 'expert' })
#
# # Updating multiple records:
# people = { 1 => { "first_name" => "David" }, 2 => { "first_name" => "Jeremy" } }

# Delete an object (or multiple objects) where the +id+ given matches the primary_key. A SQL +DELETE+ command
# is executed on the database which means that no callbacks are fired off running this. This is an efficient method
# of deleting records that don't need cleaning up after or other actions to be taken.
#
# Objects are _not_ instantiated with this method, and so +:dependent+ rules
# defined on associations are not honered.
#
# ==== Parameters
#
# * +id+ - Can be either an Integer or an Array of Integers.
#
# ==== Examples
#
# # Delete a single object
# Todo.delete(1)
#
# # Delete multiple objects
# todos = [1,2,3]
# Todo.delete(todos)
def delete(id)
delete_all([ "#{connection.quote_column_name(primary_key)} IN (?)", id ])
end
# Destroy an object (or multiple objects) that has the given id, the object is instantiated first,
# therefore all callbacks and filters are fired off before the object is deleted. This method is
# less efficient than ActiveRecord#delete but allows cleanup methods and other actions to be run.
#
# This essentially finds the object (or multiple objects) with the given id, creates a new object
# from the attributes, and then calls destroy on it.
#
# ==== Parameters
#
# * +id+ - Can be either an Integer or an Array of Integers.
#
# ==== Examples
#
# # Destroy a single object
# Todo.destroy(1)
#
# # Destroy multiple objects
# todos = [1,2,3]
# Todo.destroy(todos)
def destroy(id)
if id.is_a?(Array)
id.map { |one_id| destroy(one_id) }
else
find(id).destroy
end
end
# Updates all records with details given if they match a set of conditions supplied, limits and order can
# also be supplied. This method constructs a single SQL UPDATE statement and sends it straight to the
# database. It does not instantiate the involved models and it does not trigger Active Record callbacks.
#
# ==== Parameters
#
# * +updates+ - A string of column and value pairs that will be set on any records that match conditions.
# What goes into the SET clause.
# * +conditions+ - An SQL fragment like "administrator = 1" or [ "user_name = ?", username ]. See conditions in the intro for more info.
# * +options+ - Additional options are :limit and :order, see the examples for usage.
#
# ==== Examples
#
# # Update all billing objects with the 3 different attributes given
# Billing.update_all( "category = 'authorized', approved = 1, author = 'David'" )
#
# # Update records that match our conditions
# Billing.update_all( "author = 'David'", "title LIKE '%Rails%'" )
#
# # Update records that match our conditions but limit it to 5 ordered by date
# Billing.update_all( "author = 'David'", "title LIKE '%Rails%'",
# :order => 'created_at', :limit => 5 )
def update_all(updates, conditions = nil, options = {})
sql = "UPDATE #{quoted_table_name} SET #{sanitize_sql_for_assignment(updates)} "
scope = scope(:find)
select_sql = ""
add_conditions!(select_sql, conditions, scope)
if options.has_key?(:limit) || (scope && scope[:limit])
# Only take order from scope if limit is also provided by scope, this
# is useful for updating a has_many association with a limit.
add_order!(select_sql, options[:order], scope)

end
# Destroys the records matching +conditions+ by instantiating each record and calling their +destroy+ method.
# This means at least 2*N database queries to destroy N records, so avoid +destroy_all+ if you are deleting
# many records. If you want to simply delete records without worrying about dependent associations or
# callbacks, use the much faster +delete_all+ method instead.
#
# ==== Parameters
#
# * +conditions+ - Conditions are specified the same way as with +find+ method.
#
# ==== Example
#
# Person.destroy_all("last_login < '2004-04-04'")
#
# This loads and destroys each person one by one, including its dependent associations and before_ and
# after_destroy callbacks.
#
# +conditions+ can be anything that +find+ also accepts:
#
# Person.destroy_all(:last_login => 6.hours.ago)
def destroy_all(conditions = nil)
find(:all, :conditions => conditions).each { |object| object.destroy }
end
# Deletes the records matching +conditions+ without instantiating the records first, and hence not
# calling the +destroy+ method nor invoking callbacks. This is a single SQL DELETE statement that
# goes straight to the database, much more efficient than +destroy_all+. Be careful with relations
# though, in particular :dependent rules defined on associations are not honored.
#
# ==== Parameters
#
# * +conditions+ - Conditions are specified the same way as with +find+ method.
#
# ==== Example
#
# Post.delete_all("person_id = 5 AND (category = 'Something' OR category = 'Else')")
# Post.delete_all(["person_id = ? AND (category = ? OR category = ?)", 5, 'Something', 'Else'])
#
# Both calls delete the affected posts all at once with a single DELETE statement. If you need to destroy dependent
# associations or call your before_* or +after_destroy+ callbacks, use the +destroy_all+ method instead.
def delete_all(conditions = nil)
sql = "DELETE FROM #{quoted_table_name} "
add_conditions!(sql, conditions, scope(:find))
connection.delete(sql, "#{name} Delete all")
end
# Returns the result of an SQL statement that should only include a COUNT(*) in the SELECT part.
# The use of this method should be restricted to complicated SQL queries that can't be executed
# using the ActiveRecord::Calculations class methods. Look into those before using this.
#
# ==== Parameters
#
# * +sql+ - An SQL statement which should return a count query from the database, see the example below.
#
# ==== Examples
#
# Product.count_by_sql "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM sales s, customers c WHERE s.customer_id = c.id"
def count_by_sql(sql)
sql = sanitize_conditions(sql)
connection.select_value(sql, "#{name} Count").to_i
end
# A generic "counter updater" implementation, intended primarily to be
# used by increment_counter and decrement_counter, but which may also
# be useful on its own. It simply does a direct SQL update for the record
# with the given ID, altering the given hash of counters by the amount
# given by the corresponding value:
#
# ==== Parameters
#
# * +id+ - The id of the object you wish to update a counter on.
# * +counters+ - An Array of Hashes containing the names of the fields
# to update as keys and the amount to update the field by as values.
#
# ==== Examples
#
# # For the Post with id of 5, decrement the comment_count by 1, and
# # increment the action_count by 1
# Post.update_counters 5, :comment_count => -1, :action_count => 1
# # Executes the following SQL:
# # UPDATE posts
# # SET comment_count = comment_count - 1,
# # action_count = action_count + 1
# # WHERE id = 5
def update_counters(id, counters)
updates = counters.inject([]) { |list, (counter_name, increment)|
sign = increment < 0 ? "-" : "+"
list << "#{connection.quote_column_name(counter_name)} = COALESCE(#{connection.quote_column_name(counter_name)}, 0) #{sign} #{increment.abs}"
}.join(", ")
update_all(updates, "#{connection.quote_column_name(primary_key)} = #{quote_value(id)}")
end
# Increment a number field by one, usually representing a count.
#
# This is used for caching aggregate values, so that they don't need to be computed every time.
# For example, a DiscussionBoard may cache post_count and comment_count otherwise every time the board is
# shown it would have to run an SQL query to find how many posts and comments there are.
#
# ==== Parameters
#
# * +counter_name+ - The name of the field that should be incremented.
# * +id+ - The id of the object that should be incremented.
#
# ==== Examples
#
# # Increment the post_count column for the record with an id of 5
# DiscussionBoard.increment_counter(:post_count, 5)
def increment_counter(counter_name, id)
update_counters(id, counter_name => 1)
end
# Decrement a number field by one, usually representing a count.
#
# This works the same as increment_counter but reduces the column value by 1 instead of increasing it.
#
# ==== Parameters
#
# * +counter_name+ - The name of the field that should be decremented.
# * +id+ - The id of the object that should be decremented.
#
# ==== Examples
#
# # Decrement the post_count column for the record with an id of 5
# DiscussionBoard.decrement_counter(:post_count, 5)
def decrement_counter(counter_name, id)
update_counters(id, counter_name => -1)

# ==== Parameters
#
# * +attr_name+ - The field name that should be serialized.

#
# ==== Example
# # Serialize a preferences attribute
# class User
# serialize :preferences
# end
def serialize(attr_name, class_name = Object)
serialized_attributes[attr_name.to_s] = class_name

# Guesses the table name (in forced lower-case) based on the name of the class in the inheritance hierarchy descending
# directly from ActiveRecord::Base. So if the hierarchy looks like: Reply < Message < ActiveRecord::Base, then Message is used
# to guess the table name even when called on Reply. The rules used to do the guess are handled by the Inflector class
# in Active Support, which knows almost all common English inflections. You can add new inflections in config/initializers/inflections.rb.
#
# Nested classes are given table names prefixed by the singular form of
# the parent's table name. Enclosing modules are not considered.
#
# ==== Examples
#
# class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base; end;
# file class table_name
# invoice.rb Invoice invoices
#
# class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base; class Lineitem < ActiveRecord::Base; end; end;
# file class table_name
# invoice.rb Invoice::Lineitem invoice_lineitems
#
# module Invoice; class Lineitem < ActiveRecord::Base; end; end;
# file class table_name
# invoice/lineitem.rb Invoice::Lineitem lineitems
#
# Additionally, the class-level +table_name_prefix+ is prepended and the
# +table_name_suffix+ is appended. So if you have "myapp_" as a prefix,
# the table name guess for an Invoice class becomes "myapp_invoices".
# Invoice::Lineitem becomes "myapp_invoice_lineitems".
#
# You can also overwrite this class method to allow for unguessable
# links, such as a Mouse class with a link to a "mice" table. Example:
#
# class Mouse < ActiveRecord::Base
# set_table_name "mice"
