i don't know a better way to phrase this, so let me illustrate in pseudocode
stored_information # base table for stored info id useraccount_id stuff stored_information__name # extends stored info for name specific stuff. essentially an 'inherits' stored_information_id name_specific_stuff using rose, i need to get a list of stored_information__name for a useraccount_id i don't need / don't want the stored_information row i'm hoping there's a way to either: a) make a manager sub on stored_information, that will pull the related info from stored_information__name and ignore the class info for stored_information b) make a manager sub on stored_information__name that uses a join against stored_information, but does not retrieve the info in it does that make sense at all? my db is normalized like this for some performance reasons. i'd love to just not pull the data if at all possible. though i think i'm going to be stuck with pulling an entire row of [stored_information, stored_information__name] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
