CREATE TABLE events_current () INHERITS(events);

CREATE INDEX date_idx ON events_current (event_date);
CREATE INDEX id_idx ON events_current (event_id);

-- COPY/INSERT into parent table goes int event_current

'CREATE TABLE events' produces 'ERROR: column "actiongeo_type" specified more than once'. Same with actiongeo_fullname. @marcocitus, are there any redundant columns?
