The documentation is the best discovery resource while whatever admin tool one uses, psql in core, provides info about schema columns. pg_typeof is documented but seldom useful. Maybe a cross-reference to it is warranted elsewhere but adding a complete sub-section for this topic seems a bit much. If one were to submit such a patch I’d consider it but its not something that I consider as a existing omission. David J.
