+<p id="720009" class="block-content">
Prado's implementation of Active Record does not maintain referential identity. Each object obtained using
Active Record is a copy of the data in the database. For example, If you ask for
a particular customer and get back a <tt>Customer</tt> object, the next time you ask for
that customer you get back another instance of a <tt>Customer</tt> object. This implies that a strict
comparison (i.e., using <tt>===</tt>) will return false, while loose comparison (i.e., using <tt>==</tt>) will
return true if the object values are equal by loose comparison.

This is design implication related to the following question.

or do you think of the objects you operate on as <b>copies</b> of the database?"</i>

In the above, we show that an Active Record object can reference to its related objects by

+<p id="720013" class="block-content">
Since v3.1.1, Active Record starts to support column mapping. Column mapping allows developers
to address columns in Active Record using a more consistent naming convention. In particular,
using column mapping, one can access a column using whatever name he likes, rather than limited by
the name defined in the database schema.

To use column mapping, declare a static array named <tt>COLUMN_MAPPING</tt> in the Active Record class.
The keys of the array are column names (called <i>physical column names</i>) as defined in the database
schema, while the values are corresponding property names (called <i>logical column names</i>) defined
