    )

### $primaryKeyArray

### Usage

    include 'adodb/adodb.inc.php';
    include 'adodb/adodb-activerecord.inc.php';

    $db = NewADOConnection('mysqli');
    $db->connect('','user','password','employees');

    $table        = 'departments';
    $whereOrderBy = "name LIKE 'A%' ORDER BY Name";
    $primaryKeys  = array('id');
    $activeRecArr = $db->getActiveRecords($table, $whereOrderBy,$primaryKeys);
    foreach($activeRecArr as $rec)
    {
        $rec->id = rand();
        $rec->save();
    }

And to retrieve all records ordered by specific fields:

    $whereOrderBy = "1=1 ORDER BY Name";
    $activeRecArr = $db->GetActiveRecords($table);
    /*
    * To use bind variables (assuming ? is the place-holder for your database):
    */

    $activeRecArr = $db->getActiveRecords($tableName, 'name LIKE ?',
    						array('A%'));

    /*
    Define the primary key field[s] of the table by passing an array of field names:
    */
    $activeRecArr = $db->GetActiveRecords($tableName, 'name LIKE ?',
    						array('A%'), array('id'));
