Thread: PG 7.1.2 table names?

Are table names now numbers in 7.1.2? I was running 7.0.3 and I was using the
name of the files becase it was faster to parse a list of the dir then query
the db pg_tables.

It was not easy to change it but it makes the system more reliable.  See
/contrib/oid2name for mapping, or pg_class.relfilenode.
