We have an online order system that I am trying to convert to use postgres 
and I noticed a problem with the creation of the DB.

One of the tables has a field called 'oid', which is fine under lots of 
other DB's but postgres doesn't like it. I am in the process of renaming 
this field so things will work but I am curious what the error actually means:

ERROR:  create: system attribute named "oid"

Thanks,

Drew
