/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    Adding system caches:
 
    There must be a unique index underlying each syscache (ie, an index
    whose key is the same as that of the cache).  If there is not one
    already, add the definition for it to include/catalog/pg_*.h using
    DECLARE_UNIQUE_INDEX.
    (Adding an index requires a catversion.h update, while simply
    adding/deleting caches only requires a recompile.)
 
    Add a MAKE_SYSCACHE call to the same pg_*.h file specifying the name of
    your cache, the underlying index, and the initial number of hash buckets.
 
    The number of hash buckets must be a power of 2.  It's reasonable to
    set this to the number of entries that might be in the particular cache
    in a medium-size database.
 
    Finally, any place your relation gets heap_insert() or
    heap_update() calls, use CatalogTupleInsert() or CatalogTupleUpdate()
    instead, which also update indexes.  The heap_* calls do not do that.
