Hi, it is very inconvenient for me that triggers aren't inherited: create table watch ( mod timestamp with time zone default '-infinity' not null ); create function update_mod() returns trigger ... create trigger update_mod before insert or update on watch for each row execute procedure update_mod(); create table some ( ... ) inherits (watch); create table other ( ... ) inherits (watch); Is this behaviour to be implemented at any point of time in the future? Could it be advisible to write the patch? Or is it just too easy to emulate it? Reimplemeting a trigger for each descending table definitely dosn't satisfy me.
