   The catalog <code class="structname">pg_inherits</code> records information about
   table and index inheritance hierarchies.  There is one entry for each direct
   parent-child table or index relationship in the database.  (Indirect
   inheritance can be determined by following chains of entries.)

       If there is more than one direct parent for a child table (multiple
       inheritance), this number tells the order in which the
       inherited columns are to be arranged.  The count starts at 1.
      </p>
      <p>
       Indexes cannot have multiple inheritance, since they can only inherit
       when using declarative partitioning.
