Rails Association (Single Table Inheritance)

Here is an article that gives detailed explaination of this association with the following example: “A list of entertainment shows, such as a movie, TV-series or a documentary.”

Movies, TV series, and documentaries have a lot of common features such as name, runtime, release_date, language etc. So instead of creating 3 different tables of these, we create a single table that holds records of all.
