How are you talking to the database ? ODBC? JDBC? LibPQ? Something else?
Or do you want this from within PL/PgSQL ?

I'm hacking on a client-side library which talks directly to the Postmaster using the wire protocol [1]. I need this information to improve some of the

The information you want is always returned from the query as a row description message. This includes the type oid of real and computed columns.

See the RowDescription message on this page for details:
