* *lock_version* - Adds "optimistic locking":http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Locking.html to a model.

* *lock_version* - Adds "optimistic locking":http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Locking.html to a model.
* *type* - Specifies that the model uses "Single Table Inheritance":http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html
* *(table_name)_count* - Used to cache the number of belonging objects on associations. For example, a +comments_count+ column in a +Post+ class that has many instances of +Comment+ will cache the number of existent comments for each post.
NOTE: While these column names are optional they are in fact reserved by Active Record. Steer clear of reserved keywords unless you want the extra functionality. For example, "type" is a reserved keyword used to designate a table using Single Table Inheritance. If you are not using STI, try an analogous keyword like "context", that may still accurately describe the data you are modeling.
