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. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -bki(files), -initdb(1), -createdb(1). |
