Well, it depends on what you call an ORDBMS. By the standards of
Date and Darwen in _The Third Manifesto_, table inheritance is not
required and is in fact discouraged as a feature trivially implemented
with views, foreign keys and constraints. (Though that does not
mean that posgresql currently has an implementation of these that
will make it trivial.)
