Indeed, that will be the default in 8.1, if we stick to the previous discussions on -hackers. 8.0 introduces a GUC variable "default_with_oids" that controls whether OIDs are added to tables by default. In 8.0 this will be true by default (so 8.0 will behave exactly the same as earlier releases), but I'll be pushing for it to be set to false for 8.1. -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
