We have this para in the CREATE TABLE docs, commented out, as shown. It seems to have been like that for a long time (see <http://anoncvs.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/doc/src/sgml/ref/create_table.sgml?annotate=1.48>).
Surely we should either include it or remove it. Having it commented out in the docs seems like just noise.
cheers andrew <!-- <para> <productname>PostgreSQL</> automatically allows the created table to inherit functions on tables above it in the inheritance hierarchy; that is, if we create table <literal>foo</literal> inheriting from <literal>bar</literal>, then functions that accept the tuple type <literal>bar</literal> can also be applied to instances of <literal>foo</literal>. (Currently, this works reliably for functions on the first or only parent table, but not so well for functions on additional parents.) </para> --> -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
