Hi All,
Okay, I'm getting a little further now. I'm about to create entries in the
pg_autovacuum system tables. However, I'm a little confused as to how I go
about finding out the OID value of the tables. The pg_autovacuum table
requires the OID of the table you want to create settings for (vacrelid).
Can anyone shed some light on how I can extract the OID of the table? Also,
what happens if you create a table without OID's, are you still able to add
it's details in the pg_autovacuum table if there is no OID associated with a
table?
SELECT oid FROM pg_class where relname='table_name';
The WITH/WITHOUT OIDS clause of CREATE TABLE refers to whether or not to create oids for the rows of the table, not the table it itself. Tables always get an oid.
