    # Attempts to create a record with the given attributes in a table that has a unique constraint
    # on one or several of its columns. If a row already exists with one or several of these
    # unique constraints, the exception such an insertion would normally raise is caught,
    # and the existing record with those attributes is found using #find_by!.
    #
    # This is similar to #find_or_create_by, but avoids the problem of stale reads between the SELECT
    # and the INSERT, as that method needs to first query the table, then attempt to insert a row
    # if none is found.
    #
    # There are several drawbacks to #create_or_find_by, though:
    #
    # * The underlying table must have the relevant columns defined with unique constraints.
    # * A unique constraint violation may be triggered by only one, or at least less than all,
    #   of the given attributes. This means that the subsequent #find_by! may fail to find a
    #   matching record, which will then raise an <tt>ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound</tt> exception,
    #   rather than a record with the given attributes.
    # * While we avoid the race condition between SELECT -> INSERT from #find_or_create_by,
    #   we actually have another race condition between INSERT -> SELECT, which can be triggered
    #   if a DELETE between those two statements is run by another client. But for most applications,
    #   that's a significantly less likely condition to hit.
    # * It relies on exception handling to handle control flow, which may be marginally slower.
    # * The primary key may auto-increment on each create, even if it fails. This can accelerate
    #   the problem of running out of integers, if the underlying table is still stuck on a primary
    #   key of type int (note: All Rails apps since 5.1+ have defaulted to bigint, which is not liable
    #   to this problem).
    #
    # This method will return a record if all given attributes are covered by unique constraints
    # (unless the INSERT -> DELETE -> SELECT race condition is triggered), but if creation was attempted
    # and failed due to validation errors it won't be persisted, you get what #create returns in
    # such situation.

    # Returns the collection of objects that were destroyed; each will be frozen, to
    # reflect that no changes should be made (since they can't be persisted).
    #
    # Note: Instantiation, callback execution, and deletion of each
    # record can be time consuming when you're removing many records at
    # once. It generates at least one SQL +DELETE+ query per record (or
    # possibly more, to enforce your callbacks). If you want to delete many
    # rows quickly, without concern for their associations or callbacks, use
    # #delete_all instead.
    #
    # ==== Examples
    #
    #   Person.where(age: 0..18).destroy_all
    def destroy_all
      records.each(&:destroy).tap { reset }
    end

    # Deletes the records without instantiating the records
    # first, and hence not calling the {#destroy}[rdoc-ref:Persistence#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
    # <tt>:dependent</tt> rules defined on associations are not honored. Returns the
    # number of rows affected.
    #
    #   Post.where(person_id: 5).where(category: ['Something', 'Else']).delete_all
    #
    # Both calls delete the affected posts all at once with a single DELETE statement.
    # If you need to destroy dependent associations or call your <tt>before_*</tt> or
    # +after_destroy+ callbacks, use the #destroy_all method instead.
    #
    # If an invalid method is supplied, #delete_all raises an ActiveRecordError:
    #
