Patrick,
Not to rain on your parade, but this is probably going to be a
performance nightmare (even if you get it to work right).
I would suggest putting those extra columns in a separate table,
putting a relationship to it in the 8th subclass, and setting a nice
batch fault number on it. I bet you it will perform WAY better.

I've got a rather strange EO inheritance question. I've got a
situation where I've set up single-table inheritance (with a
subclass "type" column) for 7 out of 8 of my subclasses; and a
separate table (with the same "type" column) that has a bunch more
columns for the 8th, just because I didn't want all those columns
sitting there empty for most of the rows (i.e. for the other 7
subclasses). Probably false economy, but be that as it may....
My structure looks like this:
A <-->> B <<--> C
C is modeled as an inheritance hierarchy using horizontal mapping,
and B is modeled as the inheritance hierarchy described above,
using mostly single-table mapping. There is a different subclass
of B for each corresponding subclass of C.
It all built just fine, but when it came time to save an object of
my new C subclass (the one that corresponds to the B subclass with
its own table), the primary key of the C subclass object did not
propagate to the B subclass object -- it was left as null. This is
done with Oracle, so there's an Oracle sequence C_SEQ that's used
to obtain C's primary key, and C_ID is the primary key of all C
subclasses. Normally, this propagates to the B subclass objects
just fine (with all the other B subclasses, that is), but it isn't
working with the B subclass that is set in EOModeler to use its own
table.
Has anyone else tried to do this kind of thing, or am I just trying
to do something idiotic? :-)
