"Right" way would be implement support for multi-column keys in Rserv,
so even for tables without natural PK one could add OID to some existent
key to get uniq identifier for all rows in tables. No one had that
ability so far.
You can use OID as key for Rserv. Unfortunately, you probably will have
to create index on table.oid for better replication performance, but
most likely that index will be useful for replication only, not for
queries.
