It‘s the third time I‘ve been asked if in JPA you can persist the attributes of your entity in several tables. The answer is yes. It has a performance impact (each simple query will use joins) but it can be very helpful when you need to map your objects into an existing database. Here is an example of an Address entity that persist its data into a primary table (t_address) as well as two secondary tables (t_city and t_country). The primary table can be customized with the Table annotation and

This post was inspired by a post on the Entity Framework forums asking for an example of mapping functions to a base type and its inherited types. I’m going to show two ways to go about it with a simple model. Note that this isn’t necessarily the best data model, it’s just a Table-Per-Hierarchy (TPH) example. We have a top-level Person type with an Employee subtype, which subsequently has a Manager subtype, defined in one table: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Person]( [PersonId] [int] IDENTITY(1,
