others from altering data as you’re working with it (Locks) A little trickier to pull off in Node

Nesting Transactions SAVEPOINT ROLLBACK TO _____
"Batteries Included" • Pooling • Schema Building • Migrations •
Seeding • Callbacks (.asCallback) • Streams (.pipe, .stream) • Events • .toString()
None
Object Relational Mapper
Object Relational Mapper • Takes care of standard SQL queries
for you, especially for common CRUD operations • model.fetch() • model.fetchAll() • model.save() • model.destroy()
• One-To-One • hasOne • belongsTo • One-To-Many • hasMany
• Many-To-Many • belongsToMany Association Types
• One-To-One • hasOne • belongsTo • One-To-Many • hasMany
• Many-To-Many • belongsToMany Association Types
• One-To-One • hasOne • belongsTo • One-To-Many • hasMany
• Many-To-Many • belongsToMany Association Types
• Mapping a single model to multiple model types •

Eager Loading • Avoids the N+1 Query Problem • Find
an account with associated posts, the comments on those posts, and the accounts that made the comments.
None
Eager Loading • Avoids the N+1 Query Problem • Find
an account with "approved" associated posts, the comments on those posts, and the accounts that made the comments.
Dynamically constrain relations
Eager Loading
"Tapping into" the query chain Allows for adding additional query
parameters dynamically to the model's query
Transactions In Bookshelf, each async call (fetch, save, create, load,
destroy), takes an “options” object which may optionally take a {transacting: t} - where “t” is the object in the transaction closure
