It's even in the release notes. Well, not really. 7.1 changed this behavior to depend on the sql_inheritance GUC. It wasn't till v10 when we removed that GUC (see e13486eba) that you could really safely assume that an undecorated table name includes child tables. So I think we should say it's obsolete since v10 not 7.1. Pushed with those changes. regards, tom lane
