A minor change: I'd suggest creating these views as TEMP views, that
way they go away automatically.

Note also there's a table name fix in there.

10. EXPLAIN your queries
-----------------------------
Note, particularly, the change to the plugin name.
As a further inclusion, here's a test script that I wrote up to automate the actions:
--------------------
#!/bin/sh
# $Id$
source ~/dbs/pgsql83.sh env # A cbbrowne-ism to set up access to my favorite DB cluster...
# These all provide overridable defaults
SOURCEDB=${SOURCEDB:-"postgres"} # which database does the data come from
SOURCESCHEMA=${SOURCESCHEMA:-"public"} # which schema is in use (e.g. - what schema to pg_dump)
TESTDB=${TESTDB:-"tomtestdb"} # target database for TOM test
TOMSCHEMA=${TOMSCHEMA:-"tom"} # schema to use for TOM tables
psql -d ${SOURCEDB} -c "analyze;"
psql -d ${SOURCEDB} -f get_data_for_tom.sql

createdb ${TESTDB}

--------------------
It's not clear to me that the plugin is actually working.
When I run EXPLAIN against tables in "tomtestdb", I get results
consistent with an unanalyzed table. So possibly the "hook" isn't
being used. Perhaps I'm using it wrongly; perhaps what I have
documented above may suggest to you what's broken.
Mind you, the logs *are* suggesting that they are using the plugin:
LOG: plugin_get_relation_info relationObjectId = 30026
STATEMENT: explain analyze select * from test_table ;
That is the OID for test_table. But here's what I see:
tomtestdb=# explain select * from public.test_table ;
QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------------
Seq Scan on test_table (cost=0.00..63.00 rows=1 width=104)
(1 row)
tomtestdb=# \c postgres
That seems consistent with an empty table. I switch to (on the same
backend) the "source" DB:
You are now connected to database "postgres".
postgres=# explain select * from public.test_table ;
QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------
Seq Scan on test_table (cost=0.00..124.62 rows=6162 width=60)
