I'm now confused with vertical-horizontal naming. You say vertical,
jira https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-795 says
horizontal. I guess we talk about the same thing anyway, but just to
be sure: I'm trying to model a database schema where there are 3
tables: Artwork, Painting and Sculpture.
Artwork is an abstract entity with its own table
Painting and Sculpture are extending Artwork, but have their own
tables as well.
You are suggesting that both superclass and subclass should have PK,
this means yet another table in required to link the two tables.
This seems odd to me as the relationship is simple 1..1, is that a
requirement of JPA ?
I'm reading up on JPA, but I cannot find it.
I'll have a bit of a chat to Marcin about this on the phone and get
him up to speed where this was left off.... I've got some
documentation to show him before we need to bring this back on the list.
