    # Specify associations +args+ to be eager loaded to prevent N + 1 queries.
    # A separate query is performed for each association, unless a join is
    # required by conditions.
    #
    # For example:
    #
    #   users = User.includes(:address).limit(5)
    #   users.each do |user|
    #     user.address.city
    #   end
    #
    #   # SELECT "users".* FROM "users" LIMIT 5
    #   # SELECT "addresses".* FROM "addresses" WHERE "addresses"."id" IN (1,2,3,4,5)
    #
    # Instead of loading the 5 addresses with 5 separate queries, all addresses
    # are loaded with a single query.
    #
    # Loading the associations in a separate query will often result in a
    # performance improvement over a simple join, as a join can result in many
    # rows that contain redundant data and it performs poorly at scale.
    #
    # You can also specify multiple associations. Each association will result
    # in an additional query:
    #
    #   User.includes(:address, :friends).to_a
    #   # SELECT "users".* FROM "users"
    #   # SELECT "addresses".* FROM "addresses" WHERE "addresses"."id" IN (1,2,3,4,5)
    #   # SELECT "friends".* FROM "friends" WHERE "friends"."user_id" IN (1,2,3,4,5)
    #
    # Loading nested associations is possible using a Hash:
    #
    #   User.includes(:address, friends: [:address, :followers])
    #
    # === Conditions
    #
    # If you want to add string conditions to your included models, you'll have
    # to explicitly reference them. For example:
    #
    #   User.includes(:posts).where('posts.name = ?', 'example').to_a
    #
    # Will throw an error, but this will work:
    #
    #   User.includes(:posts).where('posts.name = ?', 'example').references(:posts).to_a
    #   # SELECT "users"."id" AS t0_r0, ... FROM "users"
    #   #   LEFT OUTER JOIN "posts" ON "posts"."user_id" = "users"."id"
    #   #   WHERE "posts"."name" = ?  [["name", "example"]]
    #
    # As the <tt>LEFT OUTER JOIN</tt> already contains the posts, the second query for
    # the posts is no longer performed.
    #
    # Note that #includes works with association names while #references needs
    # the actual table name.
    #
    # If you pass the conditions via a Hash, you don't need to call #references
    # explicitly, as #where references the tables for you. For example, this
    # will work correctly:
    #
    #   User.includes(:posts).where(posts: { name: 'example' })
    #
    # NOTE: Conditions affect both sides of an association. For example, the
    # above code will return only users that have a post named "example",
    # <em>and will only include posts named "example"</em>, even when a
    # matching user has other additional posts.

    # array, it actually returns a relation object and can have other query
    # methods appended to it, such as the other methods in ActiveRecord::QueryMethods.
    #
    # The argument to the method can also be an array of fields.
    #
    #   Model.select(:field, :other_field, :and_one_more)
    #   # => [#<Model id: nil, field: "value", other_field: "value", and_one_more: "value">]

    #   # => [#<Model id: nil, alias: "value", other_alias: "value">]
    #
    #   Model.select(models: [:field, :other_field])
    #   # => [#<Model id: nil, field: "value", other_field: "value">]
    #
    # You can also use one or more strings, which will be used unchanged as SELECT fields.
    #
    #   Model.select('field AS field_one', 'other_field AS field_two')

    # Returns a new relation, which is the result of filtering the current relation
    # according to the conditions in the arguments.
    #
    # #where accepts conditions in one of several formats. In the examples below, the resulting
    # SQL is given as an illustration; the actual query generated may be different depending
    # on the database adapter.
    #
    # === \String
    #
    # A single string, without additional arguments, is passed to the query
    # constructor as an SQL fragment, and used in the where clause of the query.
    #
    #    Client.where("orders_count = '2'")
    #    # SELECT * from clients where orders_count = '2';
    #
    # Note that building your own string from user input may expose your application
    # to injection attacks if not done properly. As an alternative, it is recommended
    # to use one of the following methods.
    #
    # === \Array
    #
    # If an array is passed, then the first element of the array is treated as a template, and
    # the remaining elements are inserted into the template to generate the condition.
    # Active Record takes care of building the query to avoid injection attacks, and will
    # convert from the ruby type to the database type where needed. Elements are inserted
    # into the string in the order in which they appear.
    #
    #   User.where(["name = ? and email = ?", "Joe", "joe@example.com"])
    #   # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'Joe' AND email = 'joe@example.com';
    #
    # Alternatively, you can use named placeholders in the template, and pass a hash as the
    # second element of the array. The names in the template are replaced with the corresponding
    # values from the hash.
    #
    #   User.where(["name = :name and email = :email", { name: "Joe", email: "joe@example.com" }])
    #   # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'Joe' AND email = 'joe@example.com';
    #
    # This can make for more readable code in complex queries.
    #
    # Lastly, you can use sprintf-style % escapes in the template. This works slightly differently
    # than the previous methods; you are responsible for ensuring that the values in the template
    # are properly quoted. The values are passed to the connector for quoting, but the caller
    # is responsible for ensuring they are enclosed in quotes in the resulting SQL. After quoting,
    # the values are inserted using the same escapes as the Ruby core method +Kernel::sprintf+.
    #
    #   User.where(["name = '%s' and email = '%s'", "Joe", "joe@example.com"])
    #   # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'Joe' AND email = 'joe@example.com';
    #
    # If #where is called with multiple arguments, these are treated as if they were passed as
    # the elements of a single array.
    #
    #   User.where("name = :name and email = :email", { name: "Joe", email: "joe@example.com" })
    #   # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'Joe' AND email = 'joe@example.com';
    #
    # When using strings to specify conditions, you can use any operator available from
    # the database. While this provides the most flexibility, you can also unintentionally introduce
    # dependencies on the underlying database. If your code is intended for general consumption,
    # test with multiple database backends.
    #
    # === \Hash
    #
    # #where will also accept a hash condition, in which the keys are fields and the values
    # are values to be searched for.
    #
    # Fields can be symbols or strings. Values can be single values, arrays, or ranges.
    #
    #    User.where(name: "Joe", email: "joe@example.com")
    #    # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'Joe' AND email = 'joe@example.com'
    #
    #    User.where(name: ["Alice", "Bob"])
    #    # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name IN ('Alice', 'Bob')
    #
    #    User.where(created_at: (Time.now.midnight - 1.day)..Time.now.midnight)
    #    # SELECT * FROM users WHERE (created_at BETWEEN '2012-06-09 07:00:00.000000' AND '2012-06-10 07:00:00.000000')
    #
    # In the case of a belongs_to relationship, an association key can be used
    # to specify the model if an ActiveRecord object is used as the value.
    #
    #    author = Author.find(1)
    #
    #    # The following queries will be equivalent:
    #    Post.where(author: author)
    #    Post.where(author_id: author)
    #
    # This also works with polymorphic belongs_to relationships:
    #
    #    treasure = Treasure.create(name: 'gold coins')
    #    treasure.price_estimates << PriceEstimate.create(price: 125)
    #
    #    # The following queries will be equivalent:
    #    PriceEstimate.where(estimate_of: treasure)
    #    PriceEstimate.where(estimate_of_type: 'Treasure', estimate_of_id: treasure)
    #
    # Hash conditions may also be specified in a tuple-like syntax. Hash keys may be
    # an array of columns with an array of tuples as values.
    #
    #   Article.where([:author_id, :id] => [[15, 1], [15, 2]])
    #   # SELECT * FROM articles WHERE author_id = 15 AND id = 1 OR author_id = 15 AND id = 2
    #
    # === Joins
    #
    # If the relation is the result of a join, you may create a condition which uses any of the
    # tables in the join. For string and array conditions, use the table name in the condition.
    #
    #    User.joins(:posts).where("posts.created_at < ?", Time.now)
    #
    # For hash conditions, you can either use the table name in the key, or use a sub-hash.
    #
    #    User.joins(:posts).where("posts.published" => true)
    #    User.joins(:posts).where(posts: { published: true })
    #
    # === No Argument
    #
    # If no argument is passed, #where returns a new instance of WhereChain, that
    # can be chained with WhereChain#not, WhereChain#missing, or WhereChain#associated.
    #
    # Chaining with WhereChain#not:
    #
    #    User.where.not(name: "Jon")
    #    # SELECT * FROM users WHERE name != 'Jon'
    #
    # Chaining with WhereChain#associated:
    #
    #    Post.where.associated(:author)
    #    # SELECT "posts".* FROM "posts"
    #    # INNER JOIN "authors" ON "authors"."id" = "posts"."author_id"
    #    # WHERE "authors"."id" IS NOT NULL
    #
    # Chaining with WhereChain#missing:
    #
    #    Post.where.missing(:author)
    #    # SELECT "posts".* FROM "posts"
    #    # LEFT OUTER JOIN "authors" ON "authors"."id" = "posts"."author_id"
    #    # WHERE "authors"."id" IS NULL
    #
    # === Blank Condition

    # If the condition is any blank-ish object, then #where is a no-op and returns
    # the current relation.
