Subject: Simple oid question
To: postgres@postgres.berkeley.edu
Sender: pg_adm@postgres.berkeley.edu

I've got a simple oid question:

	How are oid's assigned?  What I'm wondering, do oid's for a
	given record/object uniquely identify the object across just
	the table that it resides in, or is the oid unique across all
	tables in the database?

Question about indices:

	I'm running version 3.0 currently and according to the docs only
	one key is allowed for a given index.  Is this restriction
	lifted in the upcoming 4.0 release?

Thanks for your help.
