I think this is an all-or-nothing proposition: if you try to preserve only some relfilenodes, you risk collisions with automatically assigned ones. It's just like the situation with pg_type OIDs. I concur that trying to preserve them looks like it would be less work than the current method. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
