Hello, I'm trying to figure out if this is a bug or a feature.
Two child tables, one created with inheritance, one altered to have inheritance: create table A(a text, b text); create table A1() inherits (A); create table A2(a text, b text); alter table A2 INHERIT A; When you drop a column from the parent table only the tables CREATED with inheritance drop the column: alter table A drop column b; \d A1 Column | Type | Modifiers --------+------+----------- a | text | Inherits: a \d A2 Column | Type | Modifiers --------+------+----------- a | text | b | text | Inherits: a Is this intended behavior?
