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.

Well I tried to be meek
And I have tried to be mild
But I spat like a woman
And I sulked like a child
I have lived behind the walls
That have made me alone
Striven for peace
