Hi Michael and Bruce,

Thank you for taking your time to reply.

If I run \dTS+ that returns something that resembles information I need,
but it is still missing info if type can have precision, and apparently
aliases are missing (no decimal for numeric, no character for char and
so on). Additionally it would be great if I could somehow also get
information if type can be indexed.

This doesn't have to come through SQL (I simply assumed that info can be
obtained either from information schema or Postgress specific views and
tables) - if you can point me to some source file that would be
acceptable too :-)

Regards,
Ivan
