Re: Table Inheritence...Just Columns?

From PostgreSQL 8.1 documentation (
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/ddl-inherit.html)

"Check constraints can be defined on tables within an inheritance hierarchy.
All check constraints on a parent table are automatically inherited by all
of its children. Other types of constraints are not inherited, however"

Thanks,
