Thread: status of inheritance

I designed a schema which would benefit from inheritance (in particular,
an index over more than one table).

However, I read that inheritance is not really implemented yet.  So I
simulated it with extra indexes and extra joins.

Is there any plan / timetable for implementing inheritance (with proper
index support)?

As far as I know, no one is working on that.  It's on the TODO list
though:
