Table Name MappingSì Using static method of active record. http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-db-active-record.html#declaring-ar-classes
Field Name MappingSì
Map Entity to SubQuery- table = new Expression(..)
Map property to expression- (couldn't find docs)
Map native types (DateTime)Sì Active record behaviors
User-defined types (e.g. "23 USD")Sì Active record behaviors

Soft-deleteSì 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 ObjectSì \yii\db\ActiveRecord::find()
Raw expressionSì new \yii\db\Expression('...')
Nested/Composite Queries/ExpressionsSì Expression can be in any part of query
Reference domain-model field in queryNo Field is class property.
field, where, order, limitSì \yii\db\ActiveQuery
options, rollup, partition

REPLACE, TRUNCATE- Throught raw sql in \yii\db\Command
SHOW, DESCRIBE, CALL- Throught raw sql in \yii\db\Command
ALTER, CREATE query buildingSì

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)Sì \yii\db\Query::all()
Associative Array (id=>value)

Extend model change table
Relations/References (One model can relate to another model. NOT A TABLE JOIN)
Model can define relation to other ModelSì Relations
One-to-ManySì
One-to-many traversal strategyUses classical eager/lazy loading approach. with() can help pre-fetch the data for related entities.
Lazy/Eager-loadingSì
One-to-OneSì
Many-to-ManySì relations() method of an entity can define.
Deep Many-to-Many traversal.- only with "to-one" references: $book->author->address->street; Executes multiple queries.
