The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 16730
Logged by: Sofoklis Papasofokli
Email address: sofoklis24@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 10.15
Operating system: PostgreSQL 10.15 (Ubuntu 10.15-1.pgdg20.04+1) on
Description:

The following simplified example used to work on previous versions, but not
on 10.15, we tested it again on version 10.11 and it works.

We read in the release notes of 10.15 that there is a change when using like
with inheritance, maybe it is related.

CREATE TABLE id_base
(
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY

);

CREATE TABLE inherited_table
(
LIKE id_base INCLUDING DEFAULTS INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS INCLUDING
INDEXES,

"self_ref_if" INT,

CONSTRAINT self_ref_id_fk FOREIGN KEY ("self_ref_if")
REFERENCES inherited_table (id) MATCH SIMPLE
ON UPDATE RESTRICT ON DELETE RESTRICT
)
INHERITS (id_base);

Hmph. Apparently I was too careless about the order of execution of
the sub-commands created by a LIKE clause.

I pushed this patch:

https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=patch;h=513db7b7004c8d1fa15dea4747a32cbc8f9621ef

which takes care of the particular case you show, but now I wonder
if there are other issues lurking nearby. If you're in a position
to test this and see if it fixes your real application, please do.

Thanks for the report!

regards, tom lane

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the quick response.

I have not done a patch before, I will try to figure it out over the
weekend and get back to you on how it works for our exact scenario.

Thanks again!

Best regards,
Sofoklis

Hi Tom,

Just writing to confirm that i managed to patch the 10.15 version with your
fix and run all our scripts.
Everything runs normally.

Thanks for the great work!
