Hi:
If I'm creating some inherited tables from a parent,
rwtest=> CREATE TABLE test (col1 INTEGER);
CREATE
rwtest=> CREATE TABLE testchld () INHERITS (test);
CREATE
and then try to drop the parent, it says
rwtest=> DROP TABLE test;
ERROR: Relation '22057' inherits 'test'
Is there some easy way to DROP all children tables? I was looking
through some old archives, I found that neither UPDATE nor DELETE dealt
with inheritance (some grammar that had to do with relation_name rather
than relation_expr), but couldn't find anything about DROP.
Maybe some query to get all relations that inherit from the one I'm
trying to drop?
TIA.
