Some questions about inheritance

Greetings all,

I am running Postgres 6.5.1 on Red Hat 6.0 with kernel 2.2.10.

I am trying to build an application of some size and complexity using
pgsql, linux, and perl. Currently, I am trying to better understand
the way inheritance works in postgres.

I have done some experiments, and it seems that functions executed in
CHECK conditions are inherited but triggers are not. Thus, I will have
to define a trigger for every table that I wish to execute it on.
(Basically, it's a timestamp updater - nothing too fancy yet <g>.) Is
that a bug or a feature? <g>

Is there a place where the inheritance features of postgres are well
documented? Someone's website, perhaps?

Anyway, thanks for the great product. I look forward to further
updates.
