> Does anybody know if the name of a type/table in these system tables is guaranteed to be in a quotable format? Ran into a specific instance where the table name needs to be quoted by the driver (e.g. user) but want to make sure its always valid to quote the name from pg_type.
AFAIK, locutions like quote_ident(pg_type.typname) should always
work, keeping in mind the possible need to schema-qualify as well.
This will often not give you what you might think is the most common
name for the type, but it will parse correctly.
