Inheritance seems pretty nifty.  I am at a point where I would normall
create a 1-1 relation ship where the primary key of a table is also a
foreign key on another table but it seems like inheritance would
essentially do the same thing + save me from having to write joins in my
selects and having to do 2 part inserts.  Are there any drawbacks to
inheritance other than a decrease in portability?
