XX. Model inheritance
Model inheritance exists in two varieties:
- abstract base classes which are a way of specifying common
information inherited by the subclasses. They don't exist as a separate
model.
- non-abstract base classes (the default), which are models in their own
right with their own database tables and everything. Their subclasses
have references back to them, created automatically.
Both styles are demonstrated here.
