I've looked in the archives searching on oid and 'access' (microsoft) to see how others have handled migration from data bases in ms-access to postgresql. MS access has an auto-inc field that is used frequently as a uniq id. Seems the OID has the same function. Yet, I've seem parts of messages that say not to use the OID in that manner, but nothing seems 'definitive'.
Can I use an OID as a foreign key in another table? If not, what is the prefered method for replicating the auto-inc field that ms-access users are so fond of... a 'sequence'? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax: 480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing" ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
