Oracle has a rowid column automatically built into every row.  Most vendors
suggest using primary keys for all tables instead of a "rowid".

    Does anyone know if the big boys like Oracle, Informix, Sybase, DB2
    and so on support something like OIDs? This would be an interesting
    portability issue.
