Hi, Dann,
Do you think every database within a postgresql server has its own
32bits OID to use?
>>
No. You can rely on them being present only if you build the tables
yourself.
Many other database systems have a similar idea. For instance, Oracle's
Rdb has a DBKEY.
In Codd's latest "Database Manifesto" he suggests doing away with them
(along with SQL itself).
I think he has been sitting in an ivory tower too long, but what do I
know.
