Обсуждение: BUG #18911: Bug in the command INHERITS.
The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 18911 Logged by: M. BROUSSE Email address: bm16ch24f@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 17.4 Operating system: Windows 10 professional. Description: Hello dev, sorry for my english i'm a french GIS user. I'm actually using PostgreSQL with Postgis in an intership and if I don't do mistake, I have discover the command INHERITS don't work as we would. I have done a test with the exemple in the documentation with my data base. The command gives all columns from the parent table (cities in the exemple) to the child table ; but attributs aren't given with tables to the child as we would. And more strange, if I create attributs by the child table, these attributs are given to the parent table... I have already used the Inheritance command before and it was normaly working. I don't know if someone have seen the same bug, and I hope I wasn't wrong and that was normal. Sorry for possible mistakes and I stay available if you need more details. Have a good day.

Yes, providing the code that demonstrates the bug you are reporting is basically a requirement for reporting bugs.

I'm a little confused because I already used inheritance on PostgreSQL 16 and attributes were given to children tables. So, is it normal that attributes aren't given to children, if you said so.
Thanks for the help, have a nice day.

Most people here consider "attribute" to be a synonym for "column", but I noticed that you used both the terms in your first email as if you meant two different things. It helps if you show the exact commands you run (to create the parent/child tables in an empty database), the output you get, and explain how that output differs from the output you expect. -- Álvaro Herrera PostgreSQL Developer — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ "You don't solve a bad join with SELECT DISTINCT" #CupsOfFail https://twitter.com/connor_mc_d/status/1431240081726115845
