Table Inheritance with EF Core

Read Original

This technical article details the three table inheritance patterns supported by Entity Framework Core 7: Table Per Hierarchy (TPH), Table Per Type (TPT), and Table Per Concrete Type (TPC). It explains the pros and cons of each approach for persisting a class inheritance structure (e.g., Animal, Pet, Dog, Cat) to a relational database, helping developers choose the right mapping strategy based on normalization, query performance, and design needs.
