Hi all
I have a huge problem: I expect to find a column named 'oid' in any
table I query, and the client I am writing doesn't know whether I am
really selecting from a table or a view. Trying to create a view however
yields the following error:
ERROR: system column oid not available - mans is a view
and creating the view with
create view mans as select ....,oid from.... etc
gives the following error:
ERROR: Attribute 'oid' has a name conflict
Name matches an existing system attribute
Can I do anything about this, and does 7.1.2 perhaps not have this
problem?
I'm currently on 7.0.2.
Thanks
Cheers
Zak
