I’ve looked at these methods using PostgreSQL, and they seem fine for

of a parent type, is there a way to get all the objects of the subtypes
as well WITHOUT issuing tons and tons of queries?

Something to think about…

An ORM that I’ve seen able to implement CTI and polymorphic object calls
is
SQLObject v7 by Ian B… It’s written in Python.

I really miss CTI in RoR. Expecially for the ‘CMSish’ scenarios
described in
this thread, where STI doesn’t make sense at all.

Is anybody developing CTI for Rails?!?
