Hi,

I've got table x and table y which inherits table x. I want to get
items from table x which are not in table y. According to the
PostgreSQL documentation, the syntax would be "select * FROM ONLY x"
however this yields no rows, whereas something like "select * from x
where id not in (select id from y) " gives me what I want. Could
someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong using ONLY?

Thanks in advance,
Shuying
