[gnome-db] OID Error when running PostgreSQL 7.2 Under Gnome-DB

["Daniel Morgan" <danmorg sc rr com>]

Since PostgreSQL 7.2 no longer requires oid's be created on tables, a SQL
Error occurs executing a query like:

select a.oid from pg_attribute a;

ERROR: No such attribute or function 'oid'

How do we get around this since many of the queries in the PostgreSQL
provider requires the oid's when joining various Postgres tables/views?

The error was discovered by Akira Tagoh.
