Sure ;-)
i want boolean type, that's why the parent table "equipement" is
declared with :

CREATE TABLE equipements (id serial, adresseMac macaddr NOT NULL UNIQUE,
adresseIp cidr, etat char, administrable bool,primary key(id));
CREATE TABLE postetravail (nom char) INHERITS (equipements);

from the dump file i've made, i have the result :

CREATE TABLE equipements (
    id serial NOT NULL,
    adressemac macaddr NOT NULL,
    adresseip cidr,
    etat character(1),
    administrable boolean
);
CREATE TABLE postetravail (
    nom character(1)
)
INHERITS (equipements);

COPY postetravail (id, adressemac, adresseip, etat, administrable, nom)
FROM stdin;

and there administrable is boolean, so why postetravail that inherits
from equipement should not be the same ? am i doing wrong with the
parameters order ?
