-.SH NAME
-\&.../data/files/global1.bki \(em global database template
-.br
-\&.../data/files/local1_XXX.bki \(em local database template
-.br
-\&.../data/files/template1/* \(em default database template
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-These files contain scripts which direct the construction of
-databases. Note that the \*(lqglobal1.bki\*(rq and
-\*(lqtemplate1_local.bki\*(rq files are installed automatically when
-the Postgres super-user runs
-.IR initdb .
-These files are copied from
-.nf
-\&.../src/backend/obj/{dbdb,local}.bki
-.fi
-The databases which are generated by the template scripts are normal
-databases. Consequently, you can use the terminal monitor or some
-other frontend on a template database to simplify the customization
-task. That is, there is no need to express everything about your
-desired initial database state using a BKI template script, because
-the database state can be tuned interactively.
-.PP
-The system catalogs consist of classes of two types: global and local.
-There is one copy of each global class that is shared among all
-databases at a site. Local classes, on the other hand, are not
-accessible except from their own database.
-.PP
-The file
-.nf
-\&.../data/files/global1.bki
-.fi
-specifies the process used in the creation of global (shared) classes
-by
-.IR createdb .
-Similarly, the
-.nf
-\&.../files/local1_XXX.bki
-.fi
-files specify the process used in the creation of local (unshared)
-catalog classes for the \*(lqXXX\*(rq template database.
-\*(lqXXX\*(rq may be any string of 16 or fewer printable characters.
-If no template is specified in a
-.IR createdb
-command,
-then the template in
-.nf
-\&.../files/local1_template1.bki
-.fi
-is used.
-.PP
-The .bki files are generated from C source code by an inscrutable set
-of AWK scripts.
-.SH BUGS
-Postgres Version \*(PV does not permit users to have separate template
-databases.
