I know this. I need to create inheritance for already created tables.
There is no way to do this using alter table, so I tried to

Did you remember to set relhassubclass for the parent table? AFAIR, all that you really need are that and the pg_inherits row.

Aha, that works. Thanks, Tom.


It'd be a good idea to install a pg_depend entry, and to modify the child's pg_attribute rows to show the columns as inherited (attislocal and attinhcount) but I believe the latter would only bite you if you tried to do ALTER commands on the tables later.


I'll save this info.
