For built-in types it's usual practice to use the #define from pg_type.h, if there is one. If you have a string name for the type, there's a parser function to derive an OID, which I forget the name of but it's probably in parse_type.c. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
