Here's what I came up with:

select format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod) from pg_attribute a, pg_class c where a.attrelid = c.oid and a.attname = '<field>' and c.relname = '<relation>'

The result needs to be parsed...

Hello!

I need get ordered length of the varchcar field in PHP. But pg_FieldLength return -1 (it's right), but I need to get max length for this field. For example,
create table t (
str varchar(40)
);


I need to get 40...


Help me please!
