The fact that I could create a table with a numeric type using Postgres 7.2
makes my question retorical. So my next questions are:
Is the numeric type not supported in DBD::Pg ? (I assume it probably is).
Is there more processing to be done to properly resolve pg_type in an
expression like:
foreach(@{ $sth1->{pg_type} }) {
print"$_\n";
}
where the table associated with $sth1 has a numeric column, and if so what
is it?
