Description: insert select gives bogus error message
Details:
Hi,
I have two tables.
table a, and table b.
table a inherits table b in create table.
table b had at least 10 fields.
I had a command insert into a select * from b;
I got an error message saying
that number of expressions/arguments is not ok.
This does not happen if I use "like" instead of inherit.

This is most likely pilot error, but without seeing exactly what
you did, no one can tell for sure.
