/**
 * A database result record.
 * <p>
 * A record essentially combines a list of columns ({@link Field}) with a
 * corresponding list of values, each value being of the respective field's
 * type.
 * <p>
 * While records can be seen as generic column / value mappings, their concrete
 * implementations often specialise the above description in any of the
 * following ways:
 * <p>
 * <h5>Table records</h5>
 * <p>
 * Records originating from a concrete database table (or view) are modelled by
 * jOOQ as {@link TableRecord} or {@link UpdatableRecord}, if they contain a
 * primary key. If you're using jOOQ's code generator, you can generate even
 * more concrete types of table records, i.e. one table record per table.
 * <p>
 * <h5>UDT records</h5>
 * <p>
 * {@link SQLDialect#ORACLE} and {@link SQLDialect#POSTGRES} formally support
 * user defined types (UDT), which are modelled by jOOQ as {@link UDTRecord}. In
 * addition to being regular records (column / value mappings), they also
 * implement the JDBC {@link SQLData} API in order to be streamed to a JDBC
 * {@link PreparedStatement} or from a JDBC {@link ResultSet}
 * <p>
 * <h5>Records of well-defined degree</h5>
 * <p>
 * When projecting custom record types in SQL, new ad-hoc types of a certain
 * degree are formed on the fly. Records with degree &lt;= 22 are reflected by
 * jOOQ through the {@link Record1}, {@link Record2}, ... {@link Record22}
 * classes, which cover the respective row value expressions {@link Row1},
 * {@link Row2}, ... {@link Row22}
 * <p>
 * Note that generated <code>TableRecords</code> and <code>UDTRecords</code>
 * also implement a <code>Record[N]</code> interface, if <code>N &lt;= 22</code>
 * <p>
 * <h5>Record implements Comparable</h5>
 * <p>
 * jOOQ records have a natural ordering implemented in the same way as this is
 * defined in the SQL standard. For more details, see the
 * {@link #compareTo(Record)} method.
 * <p>
 * <h5>Importing Record</h5>
 * <p>
 * Starting from Java 14, the <code>Record</code> type conflicts with
 * {@link java.lang.Record}, which is always imported by default. According to
 * Java Language Specification, this means that jOOQ's <code>Record</code> type
 * can no longer be imported on demand. This is not sufficient:
 *
 * <pre>
 * <code>
 * import org.jooq.*;
 * </code>
 * </pre>
 *
 * You have to do this instead:
 *
 * <pre>
 * <code>
 * import org.jooq.*;
 * import org.jooq.Record;
 * </code>
 * </pre>

     * The mapping algorithm is this:
     * <p>
     * <h5>If <code>source</code> is an <code>array</code></h5>
     * <p>
     * Loading of data is delegated to {@link #fromArray(Object...)}
     * <p>
     * <h5>If <code>source</code> is a {@link Map}</h5>
     * <p>
     * <p>
     * Loading of data is delegated to {@link #fromMap(Map)}
     * <p>
     * <h5>If <code>source</code> is an {@link Iterable}</h5>
     * <p>
     * <p>
     * Loading of data is equivalent to loading {@link #fromArray(Object...)},
     * transforming the {@link Iterable} to an array, first.
     * <p>
     * <h5>If any JPA {@link Column} annotations are found on the {@link Class}
     * of the provided <code>source</code>, only those are used. Matching
     * candidates are:</h5>
     * <p>
     * <ul>
     * <li>Public no-argument instance methods annotated with
     * <code>Column</code></li>
     * <li>Public no-argument instance methods starting with <code>getXXX</code>
     * or <code>isXXX</code>, if there exists a matching public single-argument
     * <code>setXXX()</code> instance method that is annotated with
     * <code>Column</code></li>
     * <li>Public instance member fields annotated with <code>Column</code></li>
     * </ul>
     * Additional matching rules:
     * <ul>
     * <li>{@link Column#name()} must match {@link Field#getName()}. All other
     * annotation attributes are ignored</li>
     * <li>Only the first match per field is used</li>
     * <li>Matching methods have a higher priority than matching member
     * fields</li>
     * <li>Explicitly matching methods have a higher priority than implicitly
     * matching methods (implicitly matching getter = setter is annotated)</li>
     * <li>Static methods / member fields are ignored</li>
     * </ul>
     * <p>
     * <h5>If there are no JPA <code>Column</code> annotations, or jOOQ can't
     * find the <code>jakarta.persistence</code> API on the classpath, jOOQ will
     * map members by naming convention:</h5>
     * <p>
     * If {@link Field#getName()} is <code>MY_field</code> (case-sensitive!),
     * then this field's value will be fetched from the first of these:
     * <ul>
     * <li>Public no-argument instance method <code>MY_field()</code></li>
     * <li>Public no-argument instance method <code>myField()</code></li>
     * <li>Public no-argument instance method <code>getMY_field()</code></li>
     * <li>Public no-argument instance method <code>getMyField()</code></li>
     * <li>Public instance member field <code>MY_field</code></li>
     * <li>Public instance member field <code>myField</code></li>
     * </ul>
     * <p>
     * <h5>Other restrictions</h5>
     * <p>
     * <ul>
     * <li>primitive types are supported.</li>
     * </ul>

     * <li><code>X[i] &lt; Y[i]</code> means

     * corresponds to the SQL <code>NULLS LAST</code> clause.</li>
     * </ul>
     * Then, for two comparable Records <code>r1</code> and <code>r2</code>,
     * <code>x = r1.compareTo(r2)</code> yields:

     * <li><strong><code>x = -1</code></strong>: if
