Is it a bad practice to have multiple entities for the same table?
Mainly so not to load everything and define everything for that table and only have fields that are needed for particular usecase.
My understanding is normally this is what a DTO is used for but I say this because joins and other data pulls can be expensive and a more lightweight entity can be useful in some cases. However, is this kind of bad practice?
