I know that there are a few different strategies for mimicking table subclasses that try to force the relational model as implemented by common databases to fit an Object Oriented notion of subclass. For example, Hibernate has: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/core/3.3/reference/en/html/inheritance.html#inheritance-strategies I am a bit unclear from your examples and included tests if your subclass helper is aimed at this problem. From your example it seems more like a helper to subclass from a Parent Schema, in order to make more reusable Schema. Clarification would be great (and possibly assistance once I grok it all) John Napiorkowski One of the helpers that confuses me a bit (and would seem helpful I think) is the subclass helper.
