[mapserver-users] problem with getcapabilities xml generation when layer is using data from postgresql inherited table

Good time of the day, may be it is my misconception, but I used to think that generation of GetCapabilities xml doesn’t require checking that the data source of the layer is valid and it really has data etc. I was thinking that this is just a matter of converting metadata from mapfile to xml format by certain rules.
But it appears, that it is different from what I have been thinking. I am having a wms service that reads data from inherited postgresql table (table inherits data from many thousands of childs table) and it takes infinity to generate getcapabilities xml document:
https://gis.lesprojekt.cz/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/dima/maps/olu/european_openlandusemap.map&service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities
With other wms services that use just ordinary tables as data source it (this instance of mapserver) works just fine.
So my questions is : is it possible to change the code of mapserver not to check all child tables and instead just generate getcapabilities xml from the metadata in mapfile?
Or may be someone had this issue and found other solution?
I think in older versions of mapserver (this concrete instance is version 7.2.0 ) inherited tables didn’t cause any troubles.
Sincerely, Dimitri
