Hi folks,

According to the documentation, every row in a PostgreSQL database has a unique identifier (OID). Being this OID a 4-byte integer, I ask you: do this limit the number of rows that a database can hold (to 2^32 ~= 4 billion) If yes, can I change that at compile time or such ?

Best Regards,
Fabiano
