Обсуждение: create table liek view

filip@filip=# create view v as select 1::int;
CREATE VIEW
filip@filip=# select * from v;
 int4
------
    1
(1 row)
filip@filip=# create table t ( like v);
ERROR:  inherited relation "v" is not a table



Why? Is there any logical reason for this? View is just a table with
some rule ON SELECT...

i do not know about the reason this is not allowed, but you can:

create table t as select * from v limit 0;
