[orm-devel] No such attribute or function 'oid'

Hi Eric,

Yes, the pgsql adapter uses oids. It will add 'oid,' to any SELECT 
statement it creates.

Check out this thread on orm-devel:

   http://mailman.tux4web.de/pipermail/orm-devel/2002-November/000013.html

which contains a patch to adapters.pgsql.datasource that you might
find helpfull. Also it might be possible to write the query on the
view by hand and use the datasource.runSelect method to execute it. I
think that's they way Mike went. The selectResult class does not rely
on the oid to be present.

Take a look at the patch: do you think it should be included with 
orm? After Mike found a solution he thought satisfactory the patch  
didn't make it to the distribution...

(Uh.. I don't think it will work nicely, you might need to insert it 
by hand... sorry about that...)
