laravel Eloquent ORM

Eloquent 是 Laravel 的 'ORM'，即 'Object Relational Mapping'，对象关系映射。ORM 的出现是为了帮我们把对数据库的操作变得更加地方便。

Eloquent 让一个 'Model类' 对应一张数据库表，并且在底层封装了很多 'function'，可以让 Model 类非常方便地调用。

在实际的使用过程中，我们在model里面定义一个class来继承Eloquent（它的原始文件其实是Model.php文件，只不过在自动加载里面被修改了名字，源文件在Illuminate\Datebase\Eloquent\Model 里面，自动加载类的定义在app\config\app   

'Eloquent'        => 'Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model',

）

Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder 

这个Builder类，定义了数据查询的所有的 中间过程
