Hi Joe,
There's been a little bit-rot with duplicate OIDs and the regression
test. The first attached patch fixes that (applies on top of yours).
It occurred to be that we could go further and create most toast
tables automatically by taking advantage of the fact that the toast
creation function is a no-op if there are no varlena attributes. The
second patch (applies on top of the first) demonstrates a setup where
only shared and bootstrap catalogs need to have toast declarations
specified manually with fixed OIDs. It's possible this way is more
fragile, though.
I also did some non-scientific performance testing. On my machine,
initdb takes at least:
HEAD ~1040 ms
patch ~1070 ms
with my addenda ~1075 ms
A little slower, but within the noise of variation.
