One table per class Easy to understand because of the one-to-one mapping.  Supports polymorphism very well as you merely have records in the appropriate tables for each type.  Very easy to modify superclasses and add new subclasses as you merely need to modify/add one table. Data size grows in direct proportion to growth in the number of objects.   There are many tables in the database, one for every class (plus tables to maintain relationships).  Potentially takes longer to read and write data using this technique because you need to access multiple tables.  This problem can be alleviated if you organize your database intelligently by putting each table within a class hierarchy on different physical disk-drive platters (this assumes that the disk-drive heads all operate independently).  Ad-hoc reporting on your database is difficult, unless you add views to simulate the desired tables. When there is significant overlap between types or when changing types is common.
