+ #
+ # == Adding Joins For Associations to Queries Using the :joins option
+ #
+ # ActiveRecord::Base#find provides a :joins option, which takes either a string or values accepted by the :include option.
+ # if the value is a string, the it should contain a SQL fragment containing a join clause.
+ #
+ # Non-string values of :joins will add an automatic join clause to the query in the same way that the :include option does but with two critical
+ # differences:
+ #
+ # 1. A normal (inner) join will be performed instead of the outer join generated by :include.
+ # this means that only objects which have objects attached to the association will be included in the result.
+ # For example, suppose we have the following tables (in yaml format):
+ #
+ # Authors
+ # fred:
+ # id: 1
+ # name: Fred
+ # steve:
+ # id: 2
+ # name: Steve
+ #
+ # Contributions
+ # only:
+ # id: 1
+ # author_id: 1
+ # description: Atta Boy Letter for Steve
+ # date: 2007-10-27 14:09:54
+ #
+ # and corresponding AR Classes
+ #
+ # class Author: < ActiveRecord::Base
+ # has_many :contributions
+ # end
+ #
+ # class Contribution < ActiveRecord::Base
+ # belongs_to :author
+ # end
+ #
+ # The query Author.find(:all) will return both authors, but Author.find(:all, :joins => :contributions) will
+ # only return authors who have at least one contribution, in this case only the first.
+ # This is only a degenerate case of the more typical use of :joins with a non-string value.
+ # For example to find authors who have at least one contribution before a certain date we can use:
+ #
+ # Author.find(:all, :joins => :contributions, :conditions => ["contributions.date <= ?", 1.week.ago.to_s(:db)])
+ #
+ # 2. Only instances of the class to which the find is sent will be instantiated. ActiveRecord objects will not
+ # be instantiated for rows reached through the associations.
+ #
+ # The difference between using :joins vs :include to name associated records is that :joins allows associated tables to
+ # participate in selection criteria in the query without incurring the overhead of instantiating associated objects.
+ # This can be important when the number of associated objects in the database is large, and they will not be used, or
+ # only those associated with a paricular object or objects will be used after the query, making two queries more
+ # efficient than one.
+ #
+ # Note that while using a string value for :joins marks the result objects as read-only, the objects resulting
+ # from a call to find with a non-string :joins option value will be writable.
+ #
# == Table Aliasing
#
# ActiveRecord uses table aliasing in the case that a table is referenced multiple times in a join. If a table is referenced only once,
