Apologies all - I didn't mean to sound quite as rude as I did - I didn't
realise until I re-read my email :(

What I *meant* to say was:
I have this problem (as per previous email ;-), does anyone please know
any way that I can cause views to have a column with a name of 'oid' in
them?

Thanks very much

Cheers all
