So Chuck says for Frontbase "It does for FrontBase as the PK

table. Why does the parent need to map to a physical table at all
for HI?
So for FrontBase, sequences are attached to tables, so you must have
a table to have a sequence. In PG, that's not true. So it's
technically possible that the PG plugin doesn't generate this empty
table and instead just generates the sequence for the parent
entity. But I SUSPECT it's implemented at a lower level ... That's
a total guess, though. It's certainly possible the PG plugin is
smart enough to NOT do this for abstract entity horizontal
superclasses. It's sort of tricky, though, since I suppose you
could have a mix of horizontal and single table inheritance (eek),
Yes, you can mix them. I do. It works. Just don't try and think
about how.

at which point it doesn't know that in the future you might not need
that abstract superclass table.
