It means using OIDs as you described has very well known problems and they will break on you eventually. You can mitigate the damage by creating a UNIQUE index on the oid column but you'd better be sure your application can handle the side-effects. OIDs won't become obsolete, but they'll probably no longer be enabled by default at some stage. Hope this helps, -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@svana.org> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > Patent. n.
