Hello,
I'm new to Pg and exploring its advanced functionalities for a project.
I find composite type very interesting, but what are problems/limitations ?
I'd want to create this structure for example: 
Phone
Nom du champ
Type 
Accès
Clef
Commentaire
typ_tel
integer


type téléphone (liste  25)
tel_pre
varchar(5)


Préfixe international téléphone
tel_num
varchar(14)



tel_ext
varchar(5)


Numéro de poste

and other structures for address and timestamp fields (creation and update timestamps.

Is it a good idea ? Are index, constraints possible/easy on subfields ?

Thank you
