Magento

Hi,

Could you please explain what is an entity for magento? How is a product related to an entity?

Thanks,

An “entity” is a core thing that is being modeled.  In Magento, a product might be an entity, but the product’s SKU is not an entity, it is too simple.  It’s like the difference between objects and object properties.  Objects == Entities, and Object Properties == Attributes.

Entities extend Resources and resources are simply connections to the database (actually they manage the different read/write connections and automatically figure out table names based on convention().

So, basically, Entities are “core” things that pair up to some Models and help them save to the database.
