Bruno et al,
Any self-repsecting lurker would know that oids as row identifiers are
depreciated in postgres. Can anyone provide a brief history regarding
the reasoning behind using them as row identifiers in the first place?
I see a discussion of their use as various primary keys in he system
catalog in the oid-datatype doc page, but not regarding their history
as 'user-space' row ids.
Thanks,
James
