Thread: ALTER TABLE has not effect on children tables?

When adding a column to a mother table, children tables don't inherit
that new column. I have to add it to each sub-table manually. Is it
normal?

Unrelated problem: after a dropdb/createdb cylce my old tables and
sequences resurect in the un-initialized database. Even after removing
the tables and sequences one by one _before_ dropdb they keep coming
back like zombies when running createdb. What's going on?

Thanks in advance for your help,

You added these tables to the "template1" database. Remove them from
there, or do an initdb to *really* clean up.
