I think Walter wants to know if a given table was defined in the current
database, or if it was created from the template database (template0 or
template1) when the database was created.

I don't think you can tell. When you create a new database from a
template (typically template1), you're just making a copy of that
template. It's not really inheritance (meaning that a change to the
table definition in the template won't affect any databases "cloned"
from that template).

To find out where the table came from, you'd have to know which template
your current database was cloned from and I don't think we store that
info anywhere.
