I've not tried that, but I imagine it will work. Relying on OIDs isn't a
great idea though, because:

a) they're a non-standard feature of PostgreSQL, so if you need
to move to a different database, you won't be able to use
them; and

b) PostgreSQL seems to be phasing them out, so if you *don't* move
to a different database, you may not be able to use them in the
future.
