The easy way to fix this is calling format_type in the query and giving
it the atttypmod column of pg_attribute. I can't find if there are
corner cases if I do this. Dave, do you know why there is a pgDatatype?
it seems redundant with format_type. And the latter seems to work well
whereas pgDatatype is surely wrong.
