The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
unique/references not honored when inheriting tables

Long Description
If a table inherits fields carrying the "references" or "unique" constraint, they are not honoured but silently dropped. It is necessary to manually create the triggers/indices.

It would be nice if it were possible to create an index across a table and all sub-tables.


Sample Code
CREATE TABLE foo(id int unique)
CREATE TABLE bar() INHERITS (foo)
INSERT INTO bar VALUES(1)
INSERT INTO bar VALUES(1)
