Thread: FAQ on oids is out of date.
http://www.postgresql.org/files/documentation/faqs/FAQ.html#4.16 The FAQ on oids is out of date. It claims that they are globally unique and that no one has ever rolled over the oid counter. This should be changed to actively discourage their use. Kris Jurka
Yep, the FAQ was _very_ out of date. If you look at it now you will find a lot of it has been updated. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kris Jurka wrote: > > http://www.postgresql.org/files/documentation/faqs/FAQ.html#4.16 > > The FAQ on oids is out of date.
