Please note that the inheritance is not fully set -- if you discover
strange behavior e.g. when altering any of the tables, don't be
surprised. In particular, you should set the attislocal and attinhcount
attributes in pg_attribute for the child tables; also pg_depend entries
are missing. I don't know what else.
Also you definitely shouldn't be using relfilenode, but the real Oid of
the table (relfilenode is the filename only, not the internal identifier
of the table).
