/**
 * A Record is a tuple (name, value) to be saved in the database.
 * At its creation, the record registers itself to the RecordManager. 
 * The record will then be automatically saved in the DB once the Archiving process is finished. 
 * 
 * We have two record types available:
 * - numeric ; the value will be saved as float in the DB.
 * 	 It should be used for INTEGER, FLOAT
 * - blob ; the value will be saved in a binary field in the DB
 * 	 It should be used for all the other types: PHP variables, STRING, serialized OBJECTS or ARRAYS, etc.
