This type is used for the Select's DSL API when selecting generic Record types. 

Example: 
-- get all authors' first and last names, and the number
-- of books they've written in German, if they have written
-- more than five books in German in the last three years
-- (from 2011), and sort those authors by last names
-- limiting results to the second and third row
  SELECT T_AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME, T_AUTHOR.LAST_NAME, COUNT(*)
    FROM T_AUTHOR
    JOIN T_BOOK ON T_AUTHOR.ID = T_BOOK.AUTHOR_ID
   WHERE T_BOOK.LANGUAGE = 'DE'
     AND T_BOOK.PUBLISHED > '2008-01-01'
GROUP BY T_AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME, T_AUTHOR.LAST_NAME
  HAVING COUNT(*) > 5
ORDER BY T_AUTHOR.LAST_NAME ASC NULLS FIRST
   LIMIT 2
  OFFSET 1
     FOR UPDATE
      OF FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME
      NO WAIT
 Its equivalent in jOOQ 
create.select(TAuthor.FIRST_NAME, TAuthor.LAST_NAME, create.count())
      .from(T_AUTHOR)
      .join(T_BOOK).on(TBook.AUTHOR_ID.equal(TAuthor.ID))
      .where(TBook.LANGUAGE.equal("DE"))
      .and(TBook.PUBLISHED.greaterThan(parseDate('2008-01-01')))
      .groupBy(TAuthor.FIRST_NAME, TAuthor.LAST_NAME)
      .having(create.count().greaterThan(5))
      .orderBy(TAuthor.LAST_NAME.asc().nullsFirst())
      .limit(2)
      .offset(1)
      .forUpdate()
      .of(TAuthor.FIRST_NAME, TAuthor.LAST_NAME)
      .noWait();

Referencing XYZ*Step types directly from client code

It is usually not recommended to reference any XYZ*Step types
directly from client code, or assign them to local variables. When writing
dynamic SQL, creating a statement's components dynamically, and passing them
to the DSL API statically is usually a better choice. See the manual's
section about dynamic SQL for details: https://www.jooq.org/doc/latest/manual/sql-building/dynamic-sql.

Drawbacks of referencing the XYZ*Step types directly:

They're operating on mutable implementations (as of jOOQ 3.x)
They're less composable and not easy to get right when dynamic SQL gets
complex
They're less readable
They might have binary incompatible changes between minor releases
