Thread: OIDS problem

Hi,

I have already upgraded our server from 7.4 to 8.1. 
My problem is the next: some of our queries use OIDS but I restored the databases without OIDS.
Is it possible to set the OIDS without dump and restore?

Thanks
Szabek

No; the tables are now missing the OID fields. You'll need to dump and
restore. You should also change your application... IIRC the intention
is to eventually remove OIDs from user tables.

There is no such plan --- defaulting to WITHOUT OIDS is as far as we
intend to go.
