Here's an updated version of the patch I posted here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-12/msg01814.php Version 2 has the following changes: 1. It has been tested and debugged on Windows. 2. As suggested by Robert Haas, I have renamed the BKI scripts to genbki.pl and Gen_fmgrtab.pl in the interest of not changing anything without good reason. 3. Some cleanups. 4. Document dependency on Perl 5.8 for building from CVS, as suggested by Tom Lane here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-12/msg01861.php I saw that there was recent discussion on moving some fields out of pg_attribute in the thread entitled "Stats for inheritance trees". I believe my patch, were it applied first, would make that easier, since it generates BKI data for pg_attribute. I'll add this to the commitfest soon, if what I've described is acceptable. John Naylor
