Nah. I don't think it's worth it: I had forgotten that older versions should be supported. I just left the code as is and added a version-specific test. This patch allows pg_dump to dump correctly local definition of columns. In particular, CREATE TABLE p1 (f1 int, f2 int); CREATE TABLE p2 (f1 int); CREATE TABLE c () INHERITS (p1, p2); ALTER TABLE ONLY p1 DROP COLUMN f1; CREATE TABLE p3 (f1 int); CREATE TABLE c2 (f1 int) INHERITS (p3); Will be dumped as CREATE TABLE p1 (f2 int); CREATE TABLE p2 (f1 int); CREATE TABLE c (f1 int) INHERITS (p1, p2); CREATE TABLE c2 (f1 int) INHERITS (p3); (Previous version will dump CREATE TABLE c () INHERITS (p1, p2) CREATE TABLE c2 () INHERITS (p3) ) Alvaro Herrera
