But I'd rewrite that code ASAP. The fact that pg_upgrade preserves table OIDs is an implementation detail, not a feature we promise to preserve. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
