I think a reasonable comparison point is the operator-class commands, which are at least in the same general ballpark of complexity. opclasscmds.c is currently 1075 lines, and that's not counting the grammar additions, nor miscellaneous bits of support in places like backend/nodes/, dependency.c if you expect to be able to DROP the objects, namespace.c if they live in schemas, aclchk.c if they have owners or permissions, comment.c, etc. Teodor is proposing to add not one but four new kinds of system objects. In round numbers I would bet that such a patch will add a lot closer to 10000 lines than 1000. It may be worth doing anyway --- certainly CREATE OPERATOR CLASS was a huge improvement over the previous ways of doing it --- but don't underestimate the size of what we're talking about. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
