Based on that example, you should be sure to look at the INHERITS
clause of CREATE TABLE:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/sql-createtable.html

PostgreSQL has the "is a" structure built in. That may not get you
all the way there, but between that and a few views, you might get
close without needing a lot of low level infrastructure work.
