I am working on an application system refinement. There is a user profile table in the current system. After the refinement,there are new separated roles, A and B, of the users. The role A only has a few valid fields of the original profiletable while the role B still has the whole profile table. In regarding of the DB scheme design, that should be anideal case of using inheritance. I can have something like table PROFILE_A ( ID int – PK, ... ): table PROFILE_B { ... inherits (A) ); However, there is a problem. There are some multi-valued field tables, such as languages the person can speak, associatedwith the profile table referred by ID in the profile table. These tables are still needed for the A and B. But,the ID is not accessible from the PROFILE_B. What is the best solution for this DB scheme problem? p.s. I can't use array data type for the multi-valued fields since they need to be workable with a selection statement, norxml or comma separated format for maintainablity concern.
