Can DB-VA do the following? (if yes, how?)

I want to create a class called 'item'
I want to create another class called 'book' that extends 'item'
I want to create another class called 'car' that extends 'item'

Both 'book' and 'car' have their own attributes

Now, I want to create an ERD model where 2 tables are created: 'book' and 'car' each table should have all the attributes from 'item' and their own attributes.

Changing the inheritance strategy does not seem to work because it either creates 'item' with all the attributes from 'car' and 'book' or creates a table for each of the 3 classes. What I want is to create 2 tables 'car' and 'book' in which each inherits the attributes from 'item'

Thanks for your help

Hi jvence,

I am sorry that we do not support the feature you need currently. I already passed your post to our development team as a feature request. If there is a response from them, I will let you know.

Best Regards,
