Today we have oid's > 2147483647 , what happens, if we have more than allowed ? I remember it was about 4 billions max. oid's, will Postgres refresh itself or will it produce errors like "max. records inserted" ??? PS: My solution : I moved the applications data to another server ;-) with only 1.970.230.087 used OIDs , the application is being fixed at the moment (a typecast to int is used on nearly every page). ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
