I have setup a view consisting of two tables and some compound fields. Now I would like from the client perspective see what those compound fields actually are originally. Let's (for simplicity I have inlcuded only one table) say we have: CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW clientview AS SELECT c.clientid, (c.orderer_name::text || ' :'::text) || substr(c.occasion::text, 1, 10) AS "Order occasion", c.customerid FROM client c Is it possible to query postgres to tell me what field names and field types "Order occasion" really consists of?
