34. Supports mapping of one class to multiple tables.
For Hibernate the answer is "NO". Again, as with doing column-based concurrency, I'm wondering why not. I can see that to save such an object one would need to know its source table but couldn't that just be an additional (private) attribute on the object?
Regardless, can I fetch object from a single table in a variety of ways -- e.g., via stored procs. (Yes, despite the warnings of O/R mapping buffs -- myself included -- it turns out triggers and stored procs are very useful in many cases.)

What I mean is: can I fetch objects in multiple ways. E.g., straight from the table and also via a parameterized stored procedure that returns a "slice" of the data?
