List of types
Type | Description
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------
"SET" | set of tuples
"char" | single character
abstime | absolute, limited-range date and time (Unix system time)
aclitem | access control list
bigint | ~18 digit integer, 8-byte storage
bit | fixed-length bit string
bit varying | variable-length bit string
boolean | boolean, 'true'/'false'

I don't think they added bigint between 7.1.2 and 7.1.3.
