XX. Model inheritance |
|
|
|
Model inheritance exists in two varieties: |
|
- abstract base classes which are a way of specifying common |
|
information inherited by the subclasses. They don't exist as a separate |
|
model. |
|
- non-abstract base classes (the default), which are models in their own |
|
right with their own database tables and everything. Their subclasses |
|
have references back to them, created automatically. |
|
|
|
Both styles are demonstrated here. |
