I believe what matters is the sql_inheritance setting that was in force
when the view was created. You should be able to replace the view and
get it to do what you want.
(Hmm ... which suggests that we have still another pg_dump issue,
because views will be dumped using ONLY or no marker, and so reloading
them into a server with SQL_INHERITANCE off would result in a change in
the view behavior. Probably we need to put "SET SQL_INHERITANCE = ON"
into the standard prologue of pg_dump scripts.)
