Thanks to Erik, Jeff, & Richard for their help.
I have a further inheritance question: do child tables inherit the indexes
created on parent columns, or do they need to be specified separately for
each child table? I.e., created via CREATE INDEX.
I assume at least that the implicit index created by a primary key would
inherit, but I don't know if that assumption is safe.
Thanks,

TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ?
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
No. In addition, child tables do not inherit primary keys. Think of it
like this: if you did a \d to describe a table that you were going to
use as a parent table in an inheritance chain, the child table would get
everything in the table listing the columns but nothing beneath the table.
