/*------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * pg_description.h * definition of the "description" system catalog (pg_description) * * Because the contents of this table are taken from the *.dat files * of other catalogs, there is no pg_description.dat file. The initial * contents are assembled by genbki.pl and loaded during initdb. * * NOTE: an object is identified by the OID of the row that primarily * defines the object, plus the OID of the table that that row appears in. * For example, a function is identified by the OID of its pg_proc row * plus the pg_class OID of table pg_proc. This allows unique identification * of objects without assuming that OIDs are unique across tables. * * Since attributes don't have OIDs of their own, we identify an attribute * comment by the objoid+classoid of its parent table, plus an "objsubid" * giving the attribute column number. "objsubid" must be zero in a comment * for a table itself, so that it is distinct from any column comment. * Currently, objsubid is unused and zero for all other kinds of objects, * but perhaps it might be useful someday to associate comments with * constituent elements of other kinds of objects (arguments of a function, * for example). * * * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2022, PostgreSQL Global Development Group * Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California * * src/include/catalog/pg_description.h * * NOTES * The Catalog.pm module reads this file and derives schema * information. * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ #ifndef PG_DESCRIPTION_H #define PG_DESCRIPTION_H #include "catalog/genbki.h" #include "catalog/pg_description_d.h" /* ---------------- * pg_description definition. cpp turns this into * typedef struct FormData_pg_description * ---------------- */ CATALOG(pg_description,2609,DescriptionRelationId) { Oid objoid; /* OID of object itself */ Oid classoid; /* OID of table containing object */ int32 objsubid; /* column number, or 0 if not used */ #ifdef CATALOG_VARLEN /* variable-length fields start here */ text description BKI_FORCE_NOT_NULL; /* description of object */ #endif } FormData_pg_description; /* ---------------- * Form_pg_description corresponds to a pointer to a tuple with * the format of pg_description relation. * ---------------- */ typedef FormData_pg_description * Form_pg_description; DECLARE_TOAST(pg_description, 2834, 2835); DECLARE_UNIQUE_INDEX_PKEY(pg_description_o_c_o_index, 2675, DescriptionObjIndexId, on pg_description using btree(objoid oid_ops, classoid oid_ops, objsubid int4_ops)); /* We do not use BKI_LOOKUP here because it causes problems for genbki.pl */ DECLARE_FOREIGN_KEY((classoid), pg_class, (oid)); #endif /* PG_DESCRIPTION_H */
