/**
 * This type is used for the {@link Select}'s DSL API when selecting generic
 * {@link Record} types.
 * 
 * Example: 
 * -- get all authors' first and last names, and the number
 * -- of books they've written in German, if they have written
 * -- more than five books in German in the last three years
 * -- (from 2011), and sort those authors by last names
 * -- limiting results to the second and third row
 *
 *   SELECT T_AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME, T_AUTHOR.LAST_NAME, COUNT(*)
 *     FROM T_AUTHOR
 *     JOIN T_BOOK ON T_AUTHOR.ID = T_BOOK.AUTHOR_ID
 *    WHERE T_BOOK.LANGUAGE = 'DE'
 *      AND T_BOOK.PUBLISHED > '2008-01-01'
 * GROUP BY T_AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME, T_AUTHOR.LAST_NAME
 *   HAVING COUNT(*) > 5
 * ORDER BY T_AUTHOR.LAST_NAME ASC NULLS FIRST
 *    LIMIT 2
 *   OFFSET 1
 *      FOR UPDATE
 *       OF FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME
 *       NO WAIT
 * 
 Its equivalent in jOOQ  * create.select(TAuthor.FIRST_NAME, TAuthor.LAST_NAME, create.count())
 *       .from(T_AUTHOR)
 *       .join(T_BOOK).on(TBook.AUTHOR_ID.equal(TAuthor.ID))
 *       .where(TBook.LANGUAGE.equal("DE"))
 *       .and(TBook.PUBLISHED.greaterThan(parseDate('2008-01-01')))
 *       .groupBy(TAuthor.FIRST_NAME, TAuthor.LAST_NAME)
 *       .having(create.count().greaterThan(5))
 *       .orderBy(TAuthor.LAST_NAME.asc().nullsFirst())
 *       .limit(2)
 *       .offset(1)
 *       .forUpdate()
 *       .of(TAuthor.FIRST_NAME, TAuthor.LAST_NAME)

     * Add a SQL Server-style query hint to the select clause.
     * 
     * Example: 
     * DSLContext create = DSL.using(configuration);
     *
     * create.select(field1, field2)
     *       .from(table1)
     *       .option("OPTION (OPTIMIZE FOR UNKNOWN)")
     *       .execute();
     * 
     * 
     * You can also use this clause for any other database, that accepts hints
     * or options at the same syntactic location, e.g. for DB2's isolation clause: 
     * create.select(field1, field2)
     *       .from(table1)
     *       .option("WITH RR USE AND KEEP EXCLUSIVE LOCKS")
     *       .execute();
     * 
     * 
     * The outcome of such a query is this: 
     * SELECT field1, field2 FROM table1 [option]
     * 
     * 
     * For SQL Server style table hints, see {@link Table#with(String)}
     *
     * @see Table#with(String)
