Re: Inherancing

Yes, if you do

insert into cities values (1, 'Lajeado');
insert into centers values (1, 'Lajeado', 'AZ');

Then select * from cities will give you

1 Lajedo
1 Lajedo

And select * from centers will give

1 Lajedo AZ

However, if rather than duplicating the insert and just doing

insert into centers values (1, 'Lajeado', 'AZ');

Then select * from cities will give you

1 Lajedo

And select * from centers will give

1 Lajedo AZ

Is this what you want?
