Does postgres have a function to determine the data type of an
argument?  I'm looking for something analogous to PHP's gettype
function.  I had a look through the documentation and did a few likely
pattern searches with \df.  Nothing came up.

Apologies in advance if the answer is obvious.

Cheers

BJ
