They may be in different tables (lets say tbl_Vendor and tbl_Customer) if I implement a "one table per concrete class" inheritance strategy, but I can still query for all of the Companies that I do business with. If I'm using one table per concrete class, Hibernate uses a union of two queries plus the setting of nhttp://www.fullasagoog.com/go.cfm?itemid=23367086-0D6E-B9BB-24BF5082CCF5F84F Follow ColdFusion Bloggers on Twitter- July 14, 2008 For those who like to twit (or who may be a twit), you can now follow CFBloggers via Twitter: http:twitter.comcfbloggers I'm using Twitter Client by Elliott Sprehn.
