Fwiw I always thought it was strange how much of our bootstrap was done in a large static text file. Very little of it is actually needed for bootstrapping and we could get by with a very small set followed by a bootstrap script written in standard SQL, not unlike how the system views are created. It's much easier to type CREATE OPERATOR and CREATE OPERATOR CLASS with all the symbolic names instead of having to fill in the table. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
