After I hit the  wall with oids for the first time, I  don't refer to them
anymore :) But yes, you're perfectly right, this is one more reason to have
DDL completely `automated,' ie no manual substitutions.And here  the fact that  drop column is  rarely needed is  a
double-bladed
sword.  With things  that you  don't  do often,  you're at  risk to  forget
something essential and hose your data.
