All,

I have a difficult decision to make and am waffling back and forth.  I'm hoping 
some of you guys might have come across a similar situation and would have some 
recommendations.

I have a model where a number of entities can by applied only to males or only 
to females (it's an exercise app).  Part of me wants to create sub-entities 
called "Male…" and "Female…" because EOF will effectively validate 
relationships for me.  Unfortunately, it's a pretty deep entity hierarchy and 
there would be a lot of entities that would have to fall into this category.  
Not to mention there are join tables that wouldn't have an M/F flag, but to 
stay consistent would have to be subclassed as well.

Any thoughts?  I would do them all with single table inheritance, so there 
wouldn't be much of a performance hit.

Thanks,
Ken
