Do you mean like this?  (Notice the use of LIKE instead of INHERITS):

CREATE TABLE table_1 (
    a int,
    b int
)

CREATE TABLE table_2 (
    LIKE table_1
)

(**Note:  CREATE TABLE with INHERITS uses different syntax!**)

INSERT INTO table_1 (a, b) VALUES (1, 2);
INSERT INTO table_2 (a, b,) VALUES (3,  4);

Now,

SELECT * FROM table_1;

yeilds,

_a | b_
1 | 2

and not,

_a | b
_1 | 2
3 | 4

as it would've if you'd used INHERITS instead of LIKE.
