I figured it out.... BTW: I was thinking more along the lines of: SELECT PT.*, PA.* FROM pg_attribute PA JOIN pg_type PT ON PA.attrelid = PT.typrelid JOIN pg_class PC ON PC.oid = PA.attrelid WHERE PT.typnamespace = 2200 AND PA.attnum > 0 AND PC.relkind IN ('r', 'c', 'v'); Perhaps this should be made into a view in the information_schema.....
