Re: find column OID types with information schema?

(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.
