/**
* MapBuilders are classes that construct a model of a database at runtime.
*
* MapBuilders support a single database, so this class essentially serves as
* a wrapper around the DatabaseMap class. This interface can be used for any
* class that needs to construct a runtime database model; by default in Propel
* the MapBuilder.tpl generates a class for your datamodel that implements this
* interface and re-creates your database using the DatabaseMap, TableMap,
* ColumnMap, and ValidatorMap classes.
*
* GENERAL NOTE
* ------------
* The propel.map classes are abstract building-block classes for modeling
* the database at runtime. These classes are similar (a lite version) to the
* propel.engine.database.model classes, which are build-time modeling classes.
* These classes in themselves do not do any database metadata lookups, but instead
* are used by the MapBuilder classes that were generated for your datamodel. The
* MapBuilder that was created for your datamodel build a representation of your
* database by creating instances of the DatabaseMap, TableMap, ColumnMap, etc.
* classes. See propel/templates/om/php5/MapBuilder.tpl and the classes generated
* by that template for your datamodel to further understand how these are put
* together.
