Hello, i have a bug in a php application based on postgres 7.2.2 , which cannot handle oid's greater than 2147483647 . So I have to reset the used oids to start from 1 again, so that we have more time to correct this bug, I tried to delete dropdb, createdb and read back the data, but the oids are not reseted , they start at the high values. How can i reset this oid-starting from value ? Are OIDs used once per postgres-installation (so they are unique over all databases, seem to be that way) , or are they only counted up in the current database ? There must be a global value which sets the last oid, i need to set this to "1" or to fill up from 1 , so i have no oids >= 2147483647 for the near future.. how can i do this ? Fixing the mentioned above will take more time.
What i am looking for is a vacuumdb -a --forgetthoseoids ;-) , but I cannot find infos about that. bye, Andre Gellert ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
