I want to create 3 separate tables for 3 domain classes: A, B extends A, C extends B But I want their tables to be NOT connected to each other.
In hibernate, I would use InheritanceType.TABLE_PER_CLASS, in grails, what would be the equivalent?

Try to use tablePerHierarchy false
class Payment {
Integer amount
static mapping = {
tablePerHierarchy false
}
}
class CreditCardPayment extends Payment {
String cardNumber
}

Something I was trying to also achieve and yes it is possible with grails, it is a case of bending the spoon a little to achieve it:
Doing this under grails 3
You have a base class that you wish to extend and have child tables that have identical fields i.e. TABLE_PER_CLASS:
I found another post that helped and there was a comment but to now expand and explain it correctly on this post:
This would have been our base domain class but instead of creating it in grails-app/domains/
it is created under src/main/groovy/test
package test
abstract class Tester {
String name
String something
static mapping = {
tablePerConcreteClass true
id generator: 'increment'
version false
}
}
Next out actual domain classes in grails-app/domains/test
:
package test
class Tester1 extends Tester {
}
and
package test
class Tester2 extends Tester {
}
Looking at mysql:
mysql> show create table tester2;
