Tom, Bruce,

Thanks. I think that gives me a pretty clear picture. How can we
submit this whole OID thing to the PGSQL FAQ? Want me to write it up?

-Josh Berkus

P.S. BTW, my conclusion based on this discussion is that I will not use
the OIDs for indexing/linking. Instead, I will embrace Michael's
earlier suggestion and have already created universal_sq and started
migrating primary keys to that sequence.

P.P.S. Thank you both for taking the time to hash out this issue.
