The BaseRecord class is the class from which both PrimaryKeyRecord and VirtualRecord are derived. This class provides the basic methods common to both the PrimaryKeyRecord and VirtualRecord classes. It represents a record in a database table, view or a joined table as a result of a query. The record is part of a collection of one or more records specified in the TableUtils class. This class cannot be instantiated directly; instead only derived classes can be instantiated. All classes that reference the database derive classes from this class.
The methods in this class can be overridden to provide additional formatting for display purposes. The recommended place to override these methods is in the specific table’s customizable class file.
