I have already read about "System Columns" of the PostgreSQL documentation.
In the table "pg_catalog.pg_attribute" column "attrelid" contain
only "system OID's" but not OID's from records of the user tables.

But I would like to use OID's of all records of the all my tables.                                ^^^

I try to use rules on INSERT action of my tables to store last insert
oid, but at the moment of the INSERT row into table OID value
inaccessible (unknown).

Yes, of course, but in my case I create tables with OID and then want use
OID of all records of the all tables as one column in some query.

I think what system of OID's is very useful for application!

MF> What problem are you trying to solve?
For example, I want to fetching all rows of the several tables in one
query by means of LEFT JOIN, but not use UNION operator.
