/**
 * Base class for active records.
 *
 * An active record creates an object that wraps a row in a database table
 * or view, encapsulates the database access, and adds domain logic on that data.
 *
 * Active record objects are stateful, this is main difference between the
 * TActiveRecord implementation and the TTableGateway implementation.
 *
 * The essence of an Active Record is an object model of the
 * domain (e.g. products, items) that incorporates both behavior and
 * data in which the classes match very closely the record structure of an
 * underlying database. Each Active Record is responsible for saving and
 * loading to the database and also for any domain logic that acts on the data.
 *
 * The Active Record provides methods that do the following:
 *  1. Construct an instance of the Active Record from a SQL result set row.
 *  2. Construct a new instance for later insertion into the table.
 *  3. Finder methods to wrap commonly used SQL queries and return Active Record objects.
 *  4. Update the database and insert into it the data in the Active Record.
 *
 * Example:
 * <code>
 * class UserRecord extends TActiveRecord
 * {
 *     const TABLE='users'; //optional table name.
 *
 *     public $username; //corresponds to the fieldname in the table
 *     public $email;
 *
 *     //returns active record finder instance
 *     public static function finder($className=__CLASS__)
 *     {
 *         return parent::finder($className);
 *     }
 * }
 *
 * //create a connection and give it to the ActiveRecord manager.
 * $dsn = 'pgsql:host=localhost;dbname=test';
 * $conn = new TDbConnection($dsn, 'dbuser','dbpass');
 * TActiveRecordManager::getInstance()->setDbConnection($conn);
 *
 * //load the user record with username (primary key) 'admin'.
 * $user = UserRecord::finder()->findByPk('admin');
 * $user->email = 'admin@example.org';
 * $user->save(); //update the 'admin' record.
 * </code>
 *
 * Since v3.1.1, TActiveRecord starts to support column mapping. The physical
 * column names (defined in database) can be mapped to logical column names
 * (defined in active classes as public properties.) To use this feature, declare
 * a static class variable COLUMN_MAPPING like the following:
 * <code>
 * class UserRecord extends TActiveRecord
 * {
 *     const TABLE='users';
 *     public static $COLUMN_MAPPING=array
 *     (
 *         'user_id'=>'username',
 *         'email_address'=>'email',
 *     );
 *     public $username;
 *     pulbic $email;
 * }
 * </code>
 * In the above, the 'users' table consists of 'user_id' and 'email_address' columns,
 * while the UserRecord class declares 'username' and 'email' properties.
 * By using column mapping, we can regularize the naming convention of column names
 * in active record.
