I've never had a use for this, and didn't really know what it does.
I see ticket#44 http://trac.pygresql.org:8000/pgtracker/ticket/44
It talks about returning text instead of postgres type name.
And I see in pg.py and tests/:
_types = {'bool': 'bool',
'bytea': 'bytea',
'date': 'date interval time timetz timestamp timestamptz'
' abstime reltime', # these are very old
'float': 'float4 float8',
'int': 'cid int2 int4 int8 oid xid',
'hstore': 'hstore', 'json': 'json jsonb', 'uuid': 'uuid',
'num': 'numeric', 'money': 'money',
'text': 'bpchar char name text varchar'}
I realized that the pygres documentation talking about "regular types" is
actually referring to ::regtype, which I think (?) might actually stand for
"registered type" (reg class, regrole, etc).
I can send patch to clean up the documentation about that if desired.
I would probably use language like "postgres type name rather than pygres
simplified type name".
