I'm thinking about a "Stack Overflow" like scenario. Say I have the following models:
question answer comment vote appuser (user is reserved) I would like questions and answers to have comments, and all three of those to have votes. so, should my model for a comment look something like this?: -module(comment, [Id, CommentText, AnswerId, QuestionId, AppuserId]). -belongs_to(answer). -belongs_to(question). -belongs_to(appuser). -compile(export_all). However, I only want the Comment to belong to one of answer OR question. Can I leave AnswerId or QuestionId field blank when creating a comment record? Or, do I have to have less abstraction and create two more question/answer specific models like: -module(questioncomment, [Id, CommentText, QuestionId, AppuserId]). -belongs_to(question). -belongs_to(appuser). -compile(export_all). and -module(answercomment, [Id, CommentText, AnswerId, AppuserId]). -belongs_to(answer). -belongs_to(appuser). -compile(export_all). Similar case with votes, expect I want each of question, answer, and comment to be able to get a vote... 1 vote models which can used for all 3? or 3 vote models for each q/a/comment.
