Hi, I found the following error message misleading:
test=# create table cows2 (LIKE cows); ERROR: inherited relation "cows" is not a table STATEMENT: create table cows2 (LIKE cows); I'm not trying to inherit a relation, I'm trying to base a table on it. As it happens, "cows" is a foreign table, which *is* a table, just not a regular table. It might be useful to add support to clone foreign tables into regular tables, the use-case being that you may wish to import all the data locally into a table of the same structure. But the gripe here is the suggestion that the relation would have been inherited, which would actually be achieved using INHERITS. -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935 EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
