Yeah, thank you very much!

I've found it already too, but not post back!

Thanks!

Seems like the hard way --- if you think carefully about what regtype
is doing, you'll realize that this is incredibly inefficient, as well
as a lot of typing.  I usually do SELECT 'integer'::regtype::oid
when I need a quick numeric lookup.
