+-- Inheritance:
+-- A table can inherit from zero or more tables. A query can reference
+-- either all rows of a table or all rows of a table plus all of its
+-- descendants.
+-----------------------------
+
+-- For example, the capitals table inherits from cities table. (It inherits
+-- all data fields from cities.)
+
+CREATE TABLE cities (
+ name text,
+ population float8,
+ elevation int -- (in ft)
+);
+
+CREATE TABLE capitals (
+ state char(2)
+) INHERITS (cities);
+
+-- Now, let's populate the tables.
+INSERT INTO cities VALUES ('San Francisco', 7.24E+5, 63);
+INSERT INTO cities VALUES ('Las Vegas', 2.583E+5, 2174);
+INSERT INTO cities VALUES ('Mariposa', 1200, 1953);
+
+INSERT INTO capitals VALUES ('Sacramento', 3.694E+5, 30, 'CA');
+INSERT INTO capitals VALUES ('Madison', 1.913E+5, 845, 'WI');
+
+SELECT * FROM cities;
+SELECT * FROM capitals;
+
+-- You can find all cities, including capitals, that
+-- are located at an elevation of 500 ft or higher by:
+
+SELECT c.name, c.elevation
+FROM cities c
+WHERE c.elevation > 500;
+
+-- To scan rows of the parent table only, use ONLY:
+
+SELECT name, elevation
+FROM ONLY cities
+WHERE elevation > 500;
+
+
+-- clean up (you must remove the children first)
+DROP TABLE capitals;
+DROP TABLE cities;
