Thread: name "oid" is confusing

name "oid" is confusing

From
Ken Geis
Date:
The names of the class org.postgresql.core.Oid and the property oid in
the class org.postgresql.core.Field are misleading.  They really refer
to a concept that is more restricted than OID, namely "OID of a type."
Any chance of getting them renamed to TypeOID (or some other
capitalization of that?)
