If you need to implement a complex inheritance structure for your Entity Types, what strategies would you consider in Entity Framework?
- Entity Splitting where a single entity is split into multiple tables based on its properties.
- Table Per Hierarchy (TPH) where all classes are mapped to a single table with a discriminator column.
- Table Per Type (TPT) where each class is mapped to its own table.
- Table Splitting where different properties of a class are stored in separate tables.
Entity Framework supports several strategies for implementing complex inheritance structures. One common approach is Table Per Hierarchy (TPH), where all classes in the inheritance hierarchy are mapped to a single table with a discriminator column to distinguish between different types. This simplifies the database schema but can lead to unused columns and potential performance issues.
