Hello,

Is there a (relatively) simple way to tell if a column
is a "numeric" type other than comparing against the
seven or so oids which may or may not be the complete
list of things genererally considered to be numeric?

I need this info to determine whether or not to justify
left or right in a data display.

Thanks

Jerry
