As far as I understand it, its just a helper to initialize a new object.
Some things to keep in mind:
- You don't /have/ to provide all parameters, if some of your columns have
default values you can only provide the required set of arguments
- You don't /have/ to do that but then when you want to setup a new model
object you will have to initialize them one by one:
places = Places()
places.url = ...
places.title = ...
and so on and so forth.
