Understood this is not a bug, thank you.
I missed ALTER TABLE statement in previous test case, correct test case is as follow:
-- create table
CREATE TABLE p1 (a int , b int);
CREATE TABLE c2 (a int , b int);
-- alter c2' inheritance
ALTER TABLE c2 INHERIT p1;
-- drop column b
ALTER TABLE p1 DROP COLUMN b;
-- table description
postgres=# \d p1
Table "public.p1"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
a | integer |
Number of child tables: 1 (Use \d+ to list them.)
postgres=# \d c2
Table "public.c2"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
a | integer |
b | integer |
Inherits: p1
