Re: Base and Sub-types: single or multiple tables?
(a) A single "person" table with all possible data from all sub-types, or -- No
(b) A table for "person" with the common data, and a table each for "customer" and "salesperson" each with the specific data. -- Yes
(a) will get messier and messier as time goes on.
For (b), you will have to master JOINs, but once you understand them, it will be easy.
