I am designing a database using Postgres. For my use case, I need a modular data model. Specifically, I need to store Entities of different types. All Entities have a set of common fields, and then they have additional properties depending on their type. For instance, suppose that Entities represent Events. All Events have a title and a description. But if an Event is of type Comment, it will also have additional fields like topic and number of likes.
My main requirements are as follows:
- I need to enforce NOT NULL constraints for the type-specific columns
- The data model should be easily extendable. Adding a new type of Entity should be easy, and require no downtime for the database
- In my application, I will have a view showing all Entities, sorted by date. So I need to be able to query all Entities, independently of their type, in a fast and efficient way

Can you explain to me a design pattern that can be used to achieve these requirements? Please describe it with a concrete example.
