Hi everyone,
I am writing a program that behaves like a Postgres backend and can see that if I select oid from pg_type that the type old’s could be returned in the Row Description message for the field’s data type and that seems to work.
However, I didn’t read anywhere that these are guaranteed to be constant/stable so I’d like to know if this is the case. For example: is the old for pg_type bool = 16 on every instance of Postgres?
Also does there exist any documentation decoding what the pg_type fields all mean?
Please let me know, thanks!
