Re: Instructions for adding new catalog

Thanks for reply, Tom.
Well, just for documenting the process...
Adding new postgres catalog in 2 little steps:

1)Write catalog header file and save it into "src/include/catalog"
directory. Hint: copy format from other catalog headers.
2)Add your header file name to variable POSTGRES_BKI_SRCS in file
"src/backend/catalog/Makefile"

"Make", "make install", then "initdb" will create new system catalogs for you.
