A couple more:

If I go to create a new table, give it a name, select a table to
inherit from, and then do nothing else, I get an error:

ERROR: syntax error at or near "INHERITS"
LINE 2: INHERITS (test)
^

This is because no column list was provided, and in this case, an
empty one would be needed.  So instead of:

CREATE TABLE public.test2
(
)
    INHERITS (test)
WITH (
    OIDS = FALSE
)
TABLESPACE pg_default;

It should be:

CREATE TABLE public.test2
    INHERITS (test)
WITH (
    OIDS = FALSE
)
TABLESPACE pg_default;


If I go to create another new table, give it a name, and then in the
Like section on the Advance tab, I select a table, and enable each of
the With * options, the following SQL is produced:

CREATE TABLE public.test2
    LIKE public.test
        INCLUDING DEFAULTS
        INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS
        INCLUDING INDEXES
        INCLUDING STORAGE
        INCLUDING COMMENTSWITH (
    OIDS = FALSE
)
TABLESPACE pg_default;

The LIKE statement should appear in the column list section, so should
be surrounded in parentheses.  Also, the WITH statement here is not on
a new line.

So this should be:

CREATE TABLE public.test2
(
    LIKE public.test
        INCLUDING DEFAULTS
        INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS
        INCLUDING INDEXES
        INCLUDING STORAGE
        INCLUDING COMMENTS
)
WITH (
    OIDS = FALSE
)
TABLESPACE pg_default;
