Hi,

I want to define a set of common attributes for my tables, without the
need to define them redundantly in the SQLObject classes.
I've read http://www.sqlobject.org/Inheritance.html but I want single
flat simple Tables without complicated and slow Joins in the database.

For example I want the following database schema (pseudo code):

table Professor:
  name String
  timetable String

table Student:
  name String
  year String


I don't want to define the name attribute in every single SQLObject class.

I came up with a solution:

class Person(SQLObject):
    name = StringCol()

class Professor(Person, SQLObject):
    timetable = StringCol()

class Student(Person, SQLObject):
    year = StringCol()


This seems to work, except that the Person table is also created
unnecessarily when the model is created (using TurboGears)

Is there a solution?
