Minor gripe: the CASE WHEN THEN indenting is not ideal:

CASE
WHEN (a.attnotnull OR ((t.typtype = 'd'::"char") AND t.typnotnull)) THEN 'NO'::text
ELSE 'YES'::text
END)::information_schema.yes_or_no AS is_nullable,

I think the following is easier to read:

CASE
WHEN (a.attnotnull OR ((t.typtype = 'd'::"char") AND t.typnotnull))
THEN 'NO'::text
ELSE 'YES'::text
END)::information_schema.yes_or_no AS is_nullable,

But I realise it's not exactly what's being talked about in this thread…
