Well well, after I posted my request for help, I thought to search the
mailing list archive, and lo! and behold! there was a discussion in
December 2003 of the exact same problem, with the "resolution" that it
is a design limitation, it may have been put on some request list, and
it looks like I need to go back to individually defined tables or find
some other workaround ...
So unless someone has developed a patch for this for 7.4.2, I will now
continue with my irregularly scheduled poking around and learning ...
Thanks to everybody for PostgreSQL anyway :-)
