Thread: oid data type
Where can I find more information about the oid data type? I've looked at the User's Guide, Chapter 3. Data Types, but it didn't seem to be there. I've also looked around in the Programmer's Guide but, seeing I'm still learning the ropes, I'm not really sure where I should be looking. Once again, I'd appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction, Marc

We web site under documentation. Sorry for my poor typing. I have a section on it in my book, chapter 7, Uniquely Numbering Rows. The book is accessible from the postgresql main web site under Documentation. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
