I've found parseTypeString() in plpgsql.so... would it be ok to call dlopen('plpgsql.so', ...) from my C code to access this function or is there some other method I sould use?
thanks tom.

A SELECT seems like the hard way. Look into parse_type.c for some routines that might help. Offhand parseTypeString() is probably your best bet. > 2)in case TypeGetTupleDesc is the only option, what is the second > argument? I believe you can just set it to NIL, since you are only interested in composite types. regards, tom lane
