        Key: HB-203
    Summary: Re-use 1 class over multiple tables w/ same schema
       Type: New Feature

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

             core

Environment: All

Description:
As far as I can tell, hibernate forces you to apply a single bean against a single table.  In comparison to how one normally handles larger multi-table applications in SQL, the one-class to one-table restriction is very limiting.

In many rea-world cases you tend to use multiple tables with identical column layouts (deleted but archived entires, holding queues, etc).  Hibernate doesn't appear to support this methodology easily without creating numerous duplicate bean objects that only differ in their 'table' attribute in the .hbm.xml file.

It would be terrific if hibernate could support something along the lines of:

'select cat.name from eg.Cat("tablename") as cat'

so we could easily retarget the table.  (the above is just an example - better syntax welcome).
