The SQL visualization of tables that inherit from another table is wrong in pgAdmin. You can check that with the table "emp" in the regression test database. The actual definition (as produced by pg_dump) is this:
CREATE TABLE person ( name text, age integer, "location" point ); CREATE TABLE emp ( salary integer, manager name ) INHERITS (person); pgAdmin produces this: CREATE TABLE emp ( name text, age int4, "location" point, salary int4, manager name ) INHERITS (person) WITH OIDS; While this also works (the common columns are merged), executing this and redumping it with pg_dump produces this: CREATE TABLE emp ( name text, age integer, "location" point, salary integer, manager name ) INHERITS (person); which is not the same we started out with. I'm not exactly sure what is going on here, but it's confusing. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
