         *   }
         * })
         * ```
         *
         * This specifies that the `uid` column can not be null. In most cases this will already be covered by the
         * foreign key costraints, which sequelize creates automatically, but can be useful in case where the foreign
         * keys are disabled, e.g. due to circular references (see `constraints: false` below).
         *
         * When fetching associated models, you can limit your query to only load some models. These queries are
         * written
         * in the same way as queries to `find`/`findAll`. To only get pictures in JPG, you can do:
         *
         * ```js
         * user.getPictures({
         *   where: {
         *     format: 'jpg'
         *   }
         * })
         * ```
         *
         * There are several ways to update and add new assoications. Continuing with our example of users and
         * pictures:
         * ```js
         * user.addPicture(p) // Add a single picture
         * user.setPictures([p1, p2]) // Associate user with ONLY these two picture, all other associations will be
         * deleted user.addPictures([p1, p2]) // Associate user with these two pictures, but don't touch any current
         * associations
         * ```
         *
         * You don't have to pass in a complete object to the association functions, if your associated model has a
         * single primary key:
         *
         * ```js
         * user.addPicture(req.query.pid) // Here pid is just an integer, representing the primary key of the picture
         * ```
         *
         * In the example above we have specified that a user belongs to his profile picture. Conceptually, this might
         * not make sense, but since we want to add the foreign key to the user model this is the way to do it.
         *
         * Note how we also specified `constraints: false` for profile picture. This is because we add a foreign key
         * from user to picture (profilePictureId), and from picture to user (userId). If we were to add foreign keys
         * to both, it would create a cyclic dependency, and sequelize would not know which table to create first,
         * since user depends on picture, and picture depends on user. These kinds of problems are detected by
         * sequelize before the models are synced to the database, and you will get an error along the lines of `Error:
         * Cyclic dependency found. 'users' is dependent of itself`. If you encounter this, you should either disable
         * some constraints, or rethink your associations completely.
         *

         * Some data types have special properties that can be accessed in order to change the data type.
         * For example, to get an unsigned integer with zerofill you can do `DataTypes.INTEGER.UNSIGNED.ZEROFILL`.
         * The order you access the properties in do not matter, so `DataTypes.INTEGER.ZEROFILL.UNSIGNED` is fine as

             * ```
             * Because the include for `Profile` has `required` set it will result in an inner join, and only the users
             * who have a profile will be counted. If we remove `required` from the include, both users with and

             * If you have [CLS](https://github.com/othiym23/node-continuation-local-storage) enabled, the transaction
             * will automatically be passed to any query that runs witin the callback. To enable CLS, add it do your
