[postgis-users] OIDs and AddGeometryColumn

[Dylan Keon]

Hi all,

I upgraded a server to PostgreSQL 8.1.0 and PostGIS 1.0.5 (coming from
7.4.5/0.8.2 - ancient, I know :).  I can't do a SELECT
AddGeometryColumn, apparently because there are no OID columns in the
restored tables.  The default behavior in 8.1 is to not create OIDs.

  tsunami=# SELECT AddGeometryColumn('temp','geom',-1,'POINT',2);
  ERROR:  column reference "oid" is ambiguous

Do I have to force OID creation just so that I can use
AddGeometryColumn?  Or am I missing something?

Thanks much,
Dylan
