Knowing Enterprise patterns allow us as a developer create a vocabulary for design.
Class Table Inheritance :
while searching for this one I found STI (Single table Inheritance - In Hibernate (Java) and Entity Framework this pattern is called Table-Per-Class-Hierarchy and Table-Per-Hierarchy (TPH) respectively) and CTI some people are referring as Multiple Table Inheritance. One definition for MTI I found (It is a fact that sometimes we want to achieve a database design similar to the design of classes and subclasses in OOP. This design is what we call Multiple Table Inheritance (MTI).)
Single Table Inheritance : Single table inheritance is a way to emulate object-oriented inheritance in a relational database. When mapping from a database table to an object in an object-oriented language, a field in the database identifies what class in the hierarchy the object belongs to.[1] All fields of all the classes are stored in the same table, hence the name "Single Table Inheritance". In Ruby on Rails the field in the table called 'type' identifies the name of the class. In Hibernate (Java) and Entity Framework this pattern is called Table-Per-Class-Hierarchy and Table-Per-Hierarchy (TPH) respectively.,[2][3] and the column containing the class name is called the Discriminator column.
