All: I have a new database (read only) that I need to model and sync data from on a daily basis. Since this is its primary purpose, there are fields in every table that are versioning metadata about each row - whether it represents an initial insert or an update, the dates of updates, etc.
Since there are 5 or 6 fields that are the same in every single table, I was trying to think of ways I could handle it without adding them to every entity in my model. Of course, it is true, once they are modeled once it isn’t that hard to copy/paste - so this is more a curiosity to me. And I’m sure someone has considered this before. Inheritance doesn’t seem to be a good fit in the traditional sense. Would it be a workable approach to modify the model at runtime to have every entity in the model have these attributes?
