1. INHERITANCE

   Trewern, Ben <ben.trewern@mowlem.com> — 2000-08-31T16:43:16Z

   I have just been trying out
   
   Create Table .. Inherits ( ..);
   
   Am I right in saying you create a table that inherits fields & default
   values, but not triggers.
   
   I have not tried rules or anything else yet.  Where can I read more about
   inheritance and where to use it.
   
   Thanks in advance,

   I think only fields and default values are inherited. Ideally everything
   would be inherited unless you specify otherwise, like indexes, rules etc
   etc, but currently that is not implemented. The manual is the place to
   start with regards these features.
