The only inheritance in the DB is another table that inherits sys_users.
Actually, come to think of it most of the records in sys_users would
have come from there. I can't send a full dump as it's data that comes
under the UK Data Protection Act, but the table that inherits sys_users
looks like:
-- Table: hr_staff
CREATE TABLE hr_staff (
hr_payroll_no varchar(8),
hr_title varchar(128),
hr_department varchar(128),
hr_office varchar(128),
hr_telephone varchar(16),
hr_mobile varchar(16),
hr_image varchar(128),
hr_hol_basic int4,
hr_hol_adjust int4,
hr_hol_unit varchar(1) DEFAULT 'D'
) INHERITS(sys_users) WITH OIDS;
I'll see if I can get a test example to work (==fail) with non-sensitive
data as soon as England have beaten Brazil... :-)
