/**
 * Data access interface for an entity type.
 * <p>
 * Applications should extend this interface for each entity type they need to
 * access. At runtime the application extension will be automatically
 * implemented with a generated class, providing concrete implementations for
 * all methods.
 * <p>
 * Instances should be acquired through the application's extension interface of
 * {@link Schema}.
 * <p>
 * Applications should implement a query method using the {@link PrimaryKey}
 * annotation, for example:
 *
 * <pre>
 * public interface FooAccess extends Access&lt;Foo, Foo.Key&gt; {
 *   &#064;PrimaryKey(&quot;key&quot;)
 *   Foo byKey(Foo.Key k) throws OrmException;
 * }
 *</pre>
 *<p>
 * otherwise the primaryKey, get, update and delete operations declared by this
 * interface will be unsupported.
 *
 * @param <T> type of the entity. Any object type is suitable, so long as at
 *        least one field uses a {@link Column} annotation.
 * @param <K> type of the primary key of entity. If the primary key is a
 *        primitive type then use Key directly, otherwise use a Key
 *        implementation. Entity specific key subclasses are recommended.
