Hi Alvaro,
Because of the test I am developing under discussion at [1], I noticed
that the DDLs dumped for inheritance children with NOT NULL
constraints defer between original database and database restored from
a dump of original database. I investigated those differences, but can
not decide whether they are expected and whether they are intentional
or not. Look something related to
14e87ffa5c543b5f30ead7413084c25f7735039f.

I have attached four files. Original dumps from source (src_dump.sql)
and restored databases (dest_dump.plain.sql). Dumps adjusted for known
differences (src_dump.sql_adjusted and
dest_dump.plain.sql_adjusted respectively)
as per AdjustDump.pm module added by 0001 patch attached to [1].

Are these differences safe? Are they intentional?
