+   The <code class="literal">open</code> command cannot be used until the tables it uses
+   exist and have entries for the table that is to be opened.
+   (These minimum tables are <code class="structname">pg_class</code>,
+   <code class="structname">pg_attribute</code>, <code class="structname">pg_proc</code>, and
+   <code class="structname">pg_type</code>.)   To allow those tables themselves to be filled,
+   <code class="literal">create</code> with the <code class="literal">bootstrap</code> option implicitly opens
+   the created table for data insertion.
+  </p><p>
+   Also, the <code class="literal">declare index</code> and <code class="literal">declare toast</code>
+   commands cannot be used until the system catalogs they need have been
+   created and filled in.
+  </p><p>
+   Thus, the structure of the <code class="filename">postgres.bki</code> file has to
+   be:
+   </p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>
+      <code class="literal">create bootstrap</code> one of the critical tables
+     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+      <code class="literal">insert</code> data describing at least the critical tables
+     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+      <code class="literal">close</code>
+     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+      Repeat for the other critical tables.
+     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+      <code class="literal">create</code> (without <code class="literal">bootstrap</code>) a noncritical table
+     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+      <code class="literal">open</code>
+     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+      <code class="literal">insert</code> desired data
+     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+      <code class="literal">close</code>
+     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+      Repeat for the other noncritical tables.
+     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+      Define indexes and toast tables.
+     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+      <code class="literal">build indices</code>
+     </p></li></ol></div><p>
+  </p><p>
+   There are doubtless other, undocumented ordering dependencies.
+  </p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="bki-commands.html" title="74.4. BKI Commands">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="bki.html" title="Chapter 74. System Catalog Declarations and Initial Contents">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="bki-example.html" title="74.6. BKI Example">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">74.4. <acronym class="acronym">BKI</acronym> Commands </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html" title="PostgreSQL 15.5 Documentation">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> 74.6. BKI Example</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
