How to call a class that has access to the database?

Good evening.
In MVC do that often model. But what about in General? Now for the use of the Repository, and that repository is a database, it remains an implementation detail (something tells me that this decision is far-fetched and semantically incorrect). At the same time, Yii has ActiveRecord which is bound to the table, and by many is called the model.

So what is typically the class, empowered to access the database to retrieve / save a specific entity, for example, User? And how better to do, to bind these classes to the entity or to the table?

Thanks in advance.
