I am trying to write a query to return the names, and data types of all the
columns in a view. It has been pointed out to me that the best approach
would be using pg_catalog. OK, so I found pg_view, which I can get the names
of a the views from and pg_attribute which can give me the column names,
but it looks like i need to join this on OID, and pg_table does not have
that data.

You find the oid of the views in pg_catalog.pg_class (relkind 'v').
