The entity table has a column called {{type}} which tells whether an entity is a group or a user. Then we decide that users are type 1 and groups type 2.
The only thing we have to do is to create 3 records (the same as before) and add call the {{Doctrine_Table::setInheritanceMap()}} method inside the {{setUp()}} method.

If we want to be able to fetch a record from the {{Entity}} table and automatically get a {{User}} record if the {{Entity}} we fetched is a user we have to do set the subclasses option in the parent class. The adjusted example:
<code type="php">
class Entity extends Doctrine_Record
{
public function setTableDefinition()
{
$this->hasColumn('name', 'string', 30);
$this->hasColumn('username', 'string', 20);
$this->hasColumn('password', 'string', 16);
$this->hasColumn('created', 'integer', 11);
// this column is used for column
// aggregation inheritance
$this->hasColumn('type', 'integer', 11);
$this->option('subclasses', array('User', 'Group'));
}
}
class User extends Entity
{
public function setUp()
{
$this->setInheritanceMap(array('type'=>1));
}
}
class Group extends Entity
{
public function setUp()
{
$this->setInheritanceMap(array('type'=>2));
}
}
</code>
We can then do the following given the previous table mapping.
This feature also enable us to query the {{Entity}} table and get a {{User}} or
{{Group}} object back if the returned object matches the constraints set in the
parent class. See the code example below for an example of this.
<code type="php">
$user = new User();
......@@ -430,13 +387,13 @@ $group->save();
$q = new Doctrine_Query();
$user = $q->from('Entity')->where('id=?')->execute(array($user->id))->getFirst();
assert($user instanceOf User);
$q = new Doctrine_Query();
$group = $q->from('Entity')->where('id=?')->execute(array($group->id))->getFirst();
assert($group instanceOf Group);
</code>
The user object is here an instance of {{User}} while the group object is an instance of {{Group}}.
