Field Name MappingYes
Map Entity to SubQuery- table = new Expression(..)
Map property to expression- (couldn't find docs)

Map field to sub-query on related entity (Client.balance = Client->orders->sum(total))- (couldn't find docs)
Entity to join multiple tables (adding new record populates both tables)No No native support.
Criteria, Scope, Conditions (Model will refuse to work with records that does not match criteria)

Soft-deleteYes Events and behaviors
Domain Model CriteriaNo Only for specific query: User::find()->byEmail('...')->active()->one()
Expression-based conditionNo Only for query: User::find()->andWhere('...')->all()
Criteria Compliance (new record must match condition)No
Dynamic criteriaNo Only Querying: User::find()->where(['a' => '1', 'b' => true])->all();
Query Building (Convert Model into Query object for further SQL tweaking)
Convert Model into Query ObjectYes \yii\db\ActiveRecord::find()
Raw expressionYes new \yii\db\Expression('...')
Nested/Composite Queries/ExpressionsYes Expression can be in any part of query
Reference domain-model field in queryNo Field is class property.
field, where, order, limitYes \yii\db\ActiveQuery
options, rollup, partition
UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT query buildingYes
REPLACE, TRUNCATE- Throught raw sql in \yii\db\Command
SHOW, DESCRIBE, CALL- Throught raw sql in \yii\db\Command
ALTER, CREATE query buildingYes

full support for OR conditions-
Use Domain logic in multi-record updateNo
Data Fetching (different ways to retrieve data from database)
Get All Data (2x array)Yes \yii\db\Query::all()
Associative Array (id=>value)
Select only required fields
Typecasting (e.g. DateTime)

Extend model change table
Relations/References (One model can relate to another model. NOT A TABLE JOIN)
Model can define relation to other ModelYes Relations
