Single Table Inheritance is used by ruby-on-rails and SQLAlchemy.
Are there reasons why it is used in django? I would love to see a polymorphic inheritance solution in django. I know that there are third party apps which provide this, but something like this should be in the core. There was some discussion about this [1]. One reason against it was, that supporting not-null is not available. But a db constraint which checks the type and data column could solve this. What do you think?
