Re: seeing type defination..

Sorry it works.

actually i tried the worng things first i shud have
RTFM ;-)

by the way there is still a lacuna i cannot exclusively list
my custom return types within a schema , the pg_catalog
name space is always included and have typically 60 type
entries , so when i do

\dT everything is listed will it be possible in 7.4 to list types
in a schema only ?

i have reserved a namespace for holding just return types
becoz i cannot specity composites return types while declaring
functions like

CREATE FUNCTION foo (int , text ) RETURNS SETOF (int , double , text ) AS '

' language 'blah' ;

we need to create a return type first just for that,

would it be cool to allow the syntax above ?

tradein_clients=# \dT custom_return_types.table_desc
List of data types
Schema | Name | Description
---------------------+------------+-------------
custom_return_types | table_desc |
(1 row)

tradein_clients=# \dT+ custom_return_types.table_desc
List of data types
Schema | Name | Internal name | Size | Description
---------------------+------------+---------------+-------+-------------
custom_return_types | table_desc | table_desc | tuple |
(1 row)

tradein_clients=# \d custom_return_types.table_desc
Composite type "custom_return_types.table_desc"
Column | Type
----------+------
attname | name
typeinfo | text
