Hi all,

I am using CREATE TABLE LIKE  for creating partitions : 

Lets say this is my main table:

\d+ test_tabl

                                    Table "public.test_tabl"

    Column    |            Type             | Modifiers | Storage  | Stats target | Description

--------------+-----------------------------+-----------+----------+--------------+-------------

 id           | integer                     | not null  | plain    |              |

 test_name    | character varying(10)       |           | extended |              |

 test_value   | numeric(19,3)               |           | main     |              |

 time_created | timestamp without time zone |           | plain    |              |

Indexes:

    "test_tabl_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)

    "ix_test_tabl_time_created" btree (time_created)

Child tables: test_tabl_20170905

Options: fillfactor=75

I am creating new partitions with following query:

create table test_tabl_20170906 (like test_tabl INCLUDING ALL) inherits (test_tabl);

\d+ test_tabl_20170906

                               Table "public.test_tabl_20170906"

    Column    |            Type             | Modifiers | Storage  | Stats target | Description

--------------+-----------------------------+-----------+----------+--------------+-------------

 id           | integer                     | not null  | plain    |              |

 test_name    | character varying(10)       |           | extended |              |

 test_value   | numeric(19,3)               |           | main     |              |

 time_created | timestamp without time zone |           | plain    |              |

Indexes:

    "test_tabl_20170906_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)

    "test_tabl_20170906_time_created_idx" btree (time_created)

Inherits: test_tabl

According to PostgreSQL documentation:

INCLUDING ALL is an abbreviated form of INCLUDING DEFAULTS INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS INCLUDING INDEXES INCLUDING STORAGE INCLUDING COMMENTS.

But in this case child table didn't inherit filfactor (behaviour is the same for autovacuum parameters)

Version is 9.4.13:

                                                    version

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 PostgreSQL 9.4.13 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11), 64-bit

Same in PostgreSQL 10beta3 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
testdb=# create table dad(foo text) WITH (fillfactor=99, autovacuum_freeze_max_age=20000000);
CREATE TABLE
testdb=# create table dadkid1 (like dad INCLUDING STORAGE);
CREATE TABLE
testdb=# \d+ dadkid1
                                 Table "public.dadkid1"
 Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default | Storage  | Stats target | Description
--------+------+-----------+----------+---------+----------+--------------+-------------
 foo    | text |           |          |         | extended |              |

Am I doing something wrong here? 

Thanks in advance.
