In the Inheritance Tutorial...

What is the purpose of setting a super-type discriminator value of 1 for the CarType? I understand why Sub-Type Discriminators are needed, but not the Super-Type.

"1" Is for a "CompanyCar" Why is this not a Sub-Type?

Thanks for helping me understand.

It's used to set the descriminator column when you insert an entity of that supertype into the table. In order not to leave the value as null.
