As the error states, you cannot add an integer to a timestamp.

What is the supposed meaning of that addition?

Two ways to fix it:

1. Declare start_date as DATE when you want to add days with date + int

2. Keep TIMESTAMP and use start_date + make_interval(days => i)

The LIKE clause goes inside the parenthesis along with the column and
constraint definitions, i.e.:

    CREATE TABLE parent_table_yyyy_mm_dd (
        LIKE parent_table,
        CHECK (...)
    );
