I am looking for a SQL request (must be executed in a ECPG program) to
retrieve the type of each column in a Postgres table.

For example,
\d wapi
Table "wapi"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
------------+-----------------------+----------
wapinom | character(8) |
wapicall | character varying(12) |
wapitrans | character varying(4) |
wapistruct | character varying(50) |

It will be great to have the same result with a "select request".
regards,
