Oh, I paste bad text and with combination of vi it gets into bad result.
I correct it now.

Hello,
Irina reports problem with ODBC. I take deep look at it and find that
libpq returns base type oid instead of type oid. I'll describe it better.
We have this test suite:
CREATE DOMAIN lo as oid;
CREATE TABLE justlo(b lo);
insert one row:
INSERT INTO justlo VALUES (lo_import('file'));
we try get it throught libpq (maybe I miss some command):
SELECT b FROM justlo;
- PQsetNoticeProcessor(pgconn, CC_handle_notice, qres);
- pgres = PQexec(pgconn,query);
- PQsetNoticeProcessor(pgconn, CC_handle_notice, NULL);
...
- typid = PQftype(pgres,i);
this returns typid = 26 (oid) instead of 25087 (lo)
postgres=# select oid from pg_type where typname='oid';
oid
-----
26
(1 row)
postgres=# select oid from pg_type where typname='lo';
oid
-------
25087
(1 row)
Is there any way to get 25087? It seems this behaviour is changed
between PgSQL 7.3 and 7.4. It looks like backend issue. Becouse it
returns different values with same binary for 7.3 and >= 7.4
(all PgSQL >= 7.4 returns typid = 26 - directly tested 7.4, 8.1).
Thanks a lot for help
