Summary: Allow object-oriented features

Initial Comment:
create table a ( 
id serial, 
val int4, 
primary key(id) 
); 

create table b ( 
val1 int4, 
val2 int4 
) inherits (a); 

Now if we drop column val2 from table b, the SQL 
syntax executed by phpPgAdmin will recreate table b 
without any object relations to a. 

And, what is more annoying, we don't get "Edit" 
and "Delete" links on the "Browse" screen of table b. 
Just as if it had no unique indices. 

We could create and edit the schema manually, but 
editing the dataset is of primary importance...

Except in the schema above there is no unique index on table 
because  PostgreSQL's inheritance support ain't that great. 
 
I don't intend to support inheritance features any time soon, 
especially in table structure dumps, since: 
 
1. Postgres's OO features suck 
 
2. It's really, really, really hard dumping inheritance stuff.  Try 
reading pg_dump.c sometime...
