/* ----------
 *      Object ID (OID) zero is InvalidOid.
 *
 *      OIDs 1-9999 are reserved for manual assignment (see .dat files in
 *      src/include/catalog/).  Of these, 8000-9999 are reserved for
 *      development purposes (such as in-progress patches and forks);
 *      they should not appear in released versions.
 *
 *      OIDs 10000-11999 are reserved for assignment by genbki.pl, for use
 *      when the .dat files in src/include/catalog/ do not specify an OID
 *      for a catalog entry that requires one.  Note that genbki.pl assigns
 *      these OIDs independently in each catalog, so they're not guaranteed
 *      to be globally unique.
 *
 *      OIDS 12000-16383 are reserved for assignment during initdb
 *      using the OID generator.  (We start the generator at 12000.)
 *
 *      OIDs beginning at 16384 are assigned from the OID generator
 *      during normal multiuser operation.  (We force the generator up to
 *      16384 as soon as we are in normal operation.)
 *
 * The choices of 8000, 10000 and 12000 are completely arbitrary, and can be
 * moved if we run low on OIDs in any category.  Changing the macros below,
 * and updating relevant documentation (see bki.sgml and RELEASE_CHANGES),
 * should be sufficient to do this.  Moving the 16384 boundary between
 * initdb-assigned OIDs and user-defined objects would be substantially
 * more painful, however, since some user-defined OIDs will appear in
 * on-disk data; such a change would probably break pg_upgrade.
 *
 * NOTE: if the OID generator wraps around, we skip over OIDs 0-16383
 * and resume with 16384.  This minimizes the odds of OID conflict, by not
 * reassigning OIDs that might have been assigned during initdb.
