&gt; When I use 'create table like' command to create a table with 'including indexes' options, database return

&gt; &nbsp;PostgreSQL 16devel on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44), 64-bit
&gt; (1 row)

That's an alpha or beta version of an old release.&nbsp; Bad choice.

&gt; I did not use 'including storage' option in 'create table like' statement, but there is an extended attribute on t2.c2.
&gt; It seems that the 'including storage' option is not effective, the default behavior of database is to bring the storage
&gt; attribute from original table columns to the new table.
&gt;
&gt; I found this phenomenon on pg15.5 version. And it should also be present on pg18. Is this a bug？

No, that is not a bug.&nbsp; EXTENDED is the default storage method.
See this example:

test=&gt; CREATE TABLE t (c text STORAGE EXTERNAL);
CREATE TABLE
test=&gt; \d+ t
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Table "laurenz.t"

test=&gt; CREATE TABLE t1 (LIKE t);
CREATE TABLE
test=&gt; \d+ t1
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Table "laurenz.t1"
