Обсуждение: oid

Sorry if my question sounds stupid, but ...
Is there any way to get rid of postgres automatic generation of
system attribute column 'oid'? The problem is, that we've used for years
in our system tables attribute called oid (could be described as
varbit(16)), since there hasn't been any problems with other database
platforms.

best,
toomas.

I don't believe so.  There's been some talk about making oid optional
on tables in the future (although that might not free up the name).
