The patch causes the inheritance history to be lost. If you subsequently drop the column form the parent it'll be kept on the child because it was explicitly declared when you created the child. In the original structure if you dropped the column from the parent it would be dropped from the child because it was an inherited column. Inheritance is in a kind of no-mans land. It's not good enough to be an important feature anyone cares enough about to make it work properly and it's not shoddy enough that it's worth removing. I'm sure there are people using it effectively despite the caveats and rough edges. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
