In response to OID wrap around  ("Thalis A. Kalfigopoulos" <thalis@cs.pitt.edu>)
List pgsql-general
Remembering past discussions: Yes OID's wrap around. When this happens,
they will not nesecarily be unique anymore. Apparently this should not
be a problem unless one has queries that specifically use OID's. INT8
OID's have been talked about and will probably be implemented  some day.

Someone mentioned the OIDs are unique for every row for an entire
database cluster. I also notice that they are not being reused (like a
sequence).  Will they wrap around as soon as the 2^32 boundary is hit?
