(I had accidentally replied to Tom only on my reply)
the OID's can be found as follows:
SELECT * FROM pg_attribute
WHERE attrelid = (SELECT oid FROM pg_class WHERE relname = 'mytable');
from this page:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/datatype-oid.html
However, there is no example that uses a schema + tablename.
