Hi,
I need to get the type for a column from query result, but for
Postgres user defined types (composite types) I cannot find DBD::Pg
field that contains such a info.
For example for the query:
select A as class_record from pg_class A;
in the resulting DBI statement I have:
$$sth{TYPE}[0]: 0
$$sth{pg_type}[0]: 'unknown'
when the pqlib call PQftype() returns actual OID of the pg_class type.
Currently all calls to PQftype() are wrapped around pg_type_data()
(for example pg_type_data((int)PQftype(imp_sth->result, fields)), and
pg_type_data() always returns NULL if the type is not standard.
I think if the result of PQftype() can be stored in a new pg specific
field (for example pg_type_oid) this will give a way of using composit
types without changing current behavior of the driver ?
Best regards!
Manol
