I can't get views to participate in the hierarchy... create table outings1 as select * from outings_root limit 0; alter table outings1 inherit outings_root; SELECT * FROM dblink('host=myhost dbname=tacche port=5433 user=postgres password=postgres'::text, 'SELECT * from outings1'::text) as (id integer, date date, spot_id integer, notes text); Selects to outings_root won't show data from host "myhost". Selects from outings1 will work as expected. This is not what I got from the docs: "the information about a view in the PostgreSQL system catalogs is exactly the same as it is for a table. So for the parser, there is absolutely no difference between a table and a view" Am I doing something wrong? If it worked I would have a very basic (but working!) form of horizontal partitioning.... ___________________________________ L'email della prossima generazione? Puoi averla con la nuova Yahoo!
