</span></dt><dd><p>
Create a table named <em class="replaceable"><code>tablename</code></em>, and having the OID
<em class="replaceable"><code>tableoid</code></em>,
with the columns given in parentheses.
</p><p>
The following column types are supported directly by
<code class="filename">bootstrap.c</code>: <code class="type">bool</code>,
<code class="type">bytea</code>, <code class="type">char</code> (1 byte),
<code class="type">name</code>, <code class="type">int2</code>,
<code class="type">int4</code>, <code class="type">regproc</code>, <code class="type">regclass</code>,
<code class="type">regtype</code>, <code class="type">text</code>,
<code class="type">oid</code>, <code class="type">tid</code>, <code class="type">xid</code>,
<code class="type">cid</code>, <code class="type">int2vector</code>, <code class="type">oidvector</code>,
<code class="type">_int4</code> (array), <code class="type">_text</code> (array),
<code class="type">_oid</code> (array), <code class="type">_char</code> (array),
<code class="type">_aclitem</code> (array). Although it is possible to create
tables containing columns of other types, this cannot be done until
after <code class="structname">pg_type</code> has been created and filled with
appropriate entries. (That effectively means that only these
column types can be used in bootstrap catalogs, but non-bootstrap
catalogs can contain any built-in type.)
</p><p>
When <code class="literal">bootstrap</code> is specified,
the table will only be created on disk; nothing is entered into
<code class="structname">pg_class</code>,
<code class="structname">pg_attribute</code>, etc., for it. Thus the
table will not be accessible by ordinary SQL operations until
such entries are made the hard way (with <code class="literal">insert</code>
commands). This option is used for creating
<code class="structname">pg_class</code> etc. themselves.
</p><p>
The table is created as shared if <code class="literal">shared_relation</code> is
specified.
The table's row type OID (<code class="structname">pg_type</code> OID) can optionally
be specified via the <code class="literal">rowtype_oid</code> clause; if not specified,
an OID is automatically generated for it. (The <code class="literal">rowtype_oid</code>
clause is useless if <code class="literal">bootstrap</code> is specified, but it can be
provided anyway for documentation.)
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">
<code class="literal">open</code> <em class="replaceable"><code>tablename</code></em>
</span></dt><dd><p>
Open the table named
<em class="replaceable"><code>tablename</code></em>
for insertion of data. Any currently open table is closed.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">
<code class="literal">close</code> <em class="replaceable"><code>tablename</code></em>
</span></dt><dd><p>
Close the open table. The name of the table must be given as a
cross-check.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">
<code class="literal">insert</code> <code class="literal">(</code> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>oid_value</code></em></span>] <em class="replaceable"><code>value1</code></em> <em class="replaceable"><code>value2</code></em> ... <code class="literal">)</code>
</span></dt><dd><p>
Insert a new row into the open table using <em class="replaceable"><code>value1</code></em>, <em class="replaceable"><code>value2</code></em>, etc., for its column
values.
</p><p>
NULL values can be specified using the special key word
<code class="literal">_null_</code>. Values that do not look like
identifiers or digit strings must be single-quoted.
(To include a single quote in a value, write it twice.
Escape-string-style backslash escapes are allowed in the string, too.)
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">
<code class="literal">declare</code> [<span class="optional"><code class="literal">unique</code></span>]
<code class="literal">index</code> <em class="replaceable"><code>indexname</code></em>
<em class="replaceable"><code>indexoid</code></em>
<code class="literal">on</code> <em class="replaceable"><code>tablename</code></em>
<code class="literal">using</code> <em class="replaceable"><code>amname</code></em>
<code class="literal">(</code> <em class="replaceable"><code>opclass1</code></em>
<em class="replaceable"><code>name1</code></em>
[<span class="optional">, ...</span>] <code class="literal">)</code>
</span></dt><dd><p>
Create an index named <em class="replaceable"><code>indexname</code></em>, having OID
<em class="replaceable"><code>indexoid</code></em>,
on the table named
<em class="replaceable"><code>tablename</code></em>, using the
<em class="replaceable"><code>amname</code></em> access
method. The fields to index are called <em class="replaceable"><code>name1</code></em>, <em class="replaceable"><code>name2</code></em> etc., and the operator
classes to use are <em class="replaceable"><code>opclass1</code></em>, <em class="replaceable"><code>opclass2</code></em> etc., respectively.
The index file is created and appropriate catalog entries are
made for it, but the index contents are not initialized by this command.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">
<code class="literal">declare toast</code>
<em class="replaceable"><code>toasttableoid</code></em>
<em class="replaceable"><code>toastindexoid</code></em>
<code class="literal">on</code> <em class="replaceable"><code>tablename</code></em>
</span></dt><dd><p>
Create a TOAST table for the table named
<em class="replaceable"><code>tablename</code></em>.
The TOAST table is assigned OID
<em class="replaceable"><code>toasttableoid</code></em>
and its index is assigned OID
<em class="replaceable"><code>toastindexoid</code></em>.
As with <code class="literal">declare index</code>, filling of the index
is postponed.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">build indices</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Fill in the indices that have previously been declared.
