It is appropriate to use a supertype/subtype relationship when there are attributes that apply to some of the instances of an entity type.

  • A.True
  • B.False

Answer: A

Correct answer: True

This is one of the two conditions justifying the construct. If an attribute applies to only some instances, holding it on the single entity type means most rows carry a null, and the null has no meaning - it is not unknown but inapplicable. A subtype gives it a proper home.
