+ 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>
