Don't we already have such a permanent number -- just one we don't use anywhere in the data model? Namely the oid of the pg_attribute entry. It's actually a bit odd that we don't use it since we use the oid of just about every other system catalog record as the primary key. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
