Hi,
I'm using Pg 9.0 and inheritance to do table partitioning.
A simple example would be:
CREATE TABLE foo (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
thing VARCHAR(32)
);
CREATE INDEX foo_thing_idx ON foo(thing);
CREATE TABLE foo_1 () INHERITS (foo);
I read that foreign key constraints wouldn't be inherited. However I am
also finding that indexes aren't inherited either.
eg. EXPLAIN SELECT id FROM foo WHERE thing='something';
will indicate that an indexed scan will be done over foo, followed by a
sequential scan over foo_1.
Do I need to make sure I re-create every index on every child table I
create?
That would be.. annoying, at best.
Is there a way to enable inheritance of indexes too?
Cheers,
Toby
