I have a question/concern with the proposed patch here. The assumption
that a column of type oid is a BLOB I think is incorrect. OIDs can also
be used as a simple FK reference from one table to another since they
are unique. I think the current behavior with regards to OIDs is more
correct in mapping them to their true data type of integer.
thanks,
