Why

• no new in your code anymore
• eases up writing test code (createEntity can be mocked)

Usage

• make sure you have extension=pdo_sqlite.so enabled if you want to run phpunit
• the behavior adds a createEntity method to the table query class

$query = DemoQuery::create();
//create a new instance of class "Demo" without using new
$entity = $query->createEntity();
