I think there a several ways:

- base type OID instead of user type OID. Might break some clients
dealing with special types. ODBC users won't notice.
- a postgresql.conf option to tell the backend to use base type OID or
user type OID. Would catch most cases.
- a connection specific setting to tell the backend to use base type OID
or user type OID. For concurrent ODBC and weird clients use.
- base type additionally in the RowDescription message. Obviously, this
would break the 7.3 protocol.

Regards,

Andreas
