Understanding Inheritance in MS SQL on SQL Server: Limitations and Best Practices
Understanding Inheritance in MS SQL on SQL Server Introduction to Inheritance Inheritance is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) that allows one class to inherit properties and behavior from another class. In the context of databases, inheritance is used to establish relationships between tables where one table inherits data from another table. MS SQL on SQL Server supports two types of inheritance: single-table inheritance and multiple-table inheritance. Single-table inheritance involves creating a child table with the same columns as the parent table, while multiple-table inheritance allows for the creation of separate child tables with their own columns, in addition to inheriting data from the parent table.
