They are in the pg_type table, it is described here:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/catalog-pg-type.html

You can select it like any other table:

select oid, typname from pg_type;

(You might want to restrict the list to non-composite types by adding a
"where typrelid = 0")

It depends on the query complexity and in how often you want to execute the
same query with different arguments.

You're always welcome to improve the documentation by submitting a
documentation patch that adds more examples ;-)
