It certainly makes the creation of the audit table painless :

CREATE TABLE emp_audit(
   operation         char(1)   NOT NULL,
   stamp             timestamp NOT NULL,
   userid            text      NOT NULL
) INHERITS (emp);

However SELECT FROM emp will return rows from emp_audit as well! (unless
we always use FROM ONLY or set SQL_INHERITANCE=false). This seem likely
to confuse things!
