[GENERAL] Base type OIDs

[Dan Sugalski]

I'm trying to properly tag the types of the parameters I'm passing 
into PQexecParams, as it seems to be the right thing to do, and it's 
not that big a deal given my existing code base. Unfortunately I'm 
running into a problem figuring out what I should be using for the 
tag numbers.

I originally thought that the enum in include/ecpgtype.h was the 
place to go, but no joy there -- those numbers weren't right. (Or at 
least they threw errors) So instead I tried 
src/include/catalog/pg_type.h for the type numbers. (Which seemed a 
better bet, as the docs for PQftype say to reference this file) 
Unfortunately this isn't working either. I'm trying to use these base 
type numbers:

    text data: 1043
    numbers: 1700
    dates: 1082
which correspond to the VARCHAROID, NUMERICOID, and DATEOID 
constants. It *seems* right, but when I do I get back the error:

  DB error is: ERROR:  unsupported format code: 1043
I'm at a bit of a loss right now. What *should* I be using here? (Or 
is there something simple that I'm missing?)
