Folks,

I'd like to take the TODO item that reads, "Add support for arrays of
complex types," but before I start patching, I'd like to see whether
what I'm about to do makes any sense:

1. In src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c, change DefineRelation as
follows:

* After the first call to heap_create_with_catalog, construct and
do another call to for the array type.

* Add an appropriate pg_depend entry.

2. Change RemoveRelation to reflect the above.

3. Change TypeRename appropriately, whatever that turns out to be.

Does the above make sense? Have I missed anything critical?

Cheers,
D
