Question

I have a Record class as :

class Record {
    Date dateCreated
    Date lastUpdated
    def beforeInsert() {
        dateCreated = new Date()
    }
    def beforeUpdate() {
        lastUpdated = new Date()
    }
    static mapping = { tablePerHierarchy false }
}

And this class is inherited by several other domain classes – for example :

class User extends Record{
    String userName
    String password
    String email
}

My question here is : Is there any way to embedd the columns of Record table into the table which extends it?

Answer 1

You can define tablePerClass or tablePerHierarchy strategies.
See documentation here.

So, following, your code you should use:

static mapping = {
    tablePerHierarchy true
}
