Fluent NHibernate mapping: one table, many classes

Question

How would I go about mapping three classes to one table with fluent NHibernate. A "Type" column should indicate which class should be mapped. Is it even possble?

Answer 1

It's certainly possible, assuming that your classes extend a common base class. This is called table-per-class strategy and instructions on how to map it are in the documentation.

Answer 2

Are you in a situation where your data could be normalized? What you're trying to do seems like a dead giveaway that this is the actual problem.
