Re: Adding type info etc for inheritance errmsg: "child table is missing column ..."

So I tried using format_type_with_typemod() thinking that the "typemod
info" meant things like NOT NULL, DEFAULT etc. It builds and includes the
plain type but not all that stuff. E.g.

user=# alter table temp inherit entity;
ERROR: child table is missing column "id" uuid

when I was hoping for

user=# alter table temp inherit entity;
ERROR: child table is missing column "id" uuid default uuid_generate_v1mc()

Is there an easy way to get the string that includes all those additional
constraints/defaults etc? I noticed that defaults seem to be stored in the
Form_pg_attrdef struct defined in src/include/catalog/pg_attrdef.h, and
haven't yet seen how constraints like NOT NULL are handled.

Thanks,
Ryan
