Peter just removed all those figures because they were so out-of-date as to be useless. If you redrew from the figure rather than from looking at the actual catalogs documentation, I fear your version is too :-(. I'd be interested in having a nice figure to document the catalog relationships, but it has to be something that can be maintained over time. The reason the old figures got so out-of-date is that no current maintainer understood the tools they were generated with. So if you want to submit something, I'd ask that it be generated with open-source tools and that it come with an explanation of how to modify and regenerate it. Within those ground rules, go to it ... regards, tom lane
