      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>

      Open the table named
      <em class="replaceable"><code>tablename</code></em>
      for insertion of data.  Any currently open table is closed.

     <code class="literal">close</code> <em class="replaceable"><code>tablename</code></em>

      Close the open table.  The name of the table must be given as a
      cross-check.

    </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.)

      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

      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.
