-A class method that returns the SQL necessary to retrieve all of the records for this object.
+A class method that returns two values. The first is the SQL necessary to retrieve all of the records for this object. The second is an array reference with the placeholder parameters needed to execute the SQL.

-A reference to a WebGUI::Session.
+A reference to a WebGUI::Session or an object that has a session method. If it's an object that has a session method, then this object will be passed to new() instead of session as well. This is useful when you are creating WebGUI::Crud subclasses that require another object to function.
 
 =head3 options
 
 A hash reference of optional rules to modify the returned results.
 
+=head4 constraints
+
+An array reference of hash references. Each hash reference should contain a where clause as the key complete with place holders (?) and a scalar or an array reference as it's value or values. Each where clause should be written using ANSI SQL. Each where clause will be anded together with any other where clauses that are generated by this API, and the "where" statement will be prepended to that.

+Here's an example of this structure:
+
+ [
+	{ "price <= ?" 			=> 44 },
+	{ "color=? or color=?" 	=> ['blue','black'] },

 Either an integer representing the number of records to return, or an array reference of an integer of the starting record position and another integer representing the number of records to return.
