Hey all,
For example, when using libpq(-xx), it is possible to get the oid of the
type of any column.
Is there a guarantee that oids of base types (void, integer, ... ) will not
change in future
releases of Postgres?
Regards,
Dmitriy

There is no actual "guarantee" written in stone, but the OIDs of those
types haven't changed in 10+ years, and there is no conceivable reason
to change them, so you can be pretty sure that they'll remain the same.
