make() and unmake()
The make and unmake methods are override - able functions for use in extensions of the neko
.db.Manager class. The make method is called when a returned SPOD object is created following data
retrieval from the database, while the unmake method is called just before an update is made. Using both
methods together, you can purposely perform calculations on data retrieved from the database so as to
make the data more object friendly, while using the unmake method to reparse the data for saving back
to the database:
class AuthorManager extends neko.
