Hi,

I'm trying to write an application to allow a user to edit an arbitrary
table.
How can I determine the type of a particular field and figure out
whether or
not I should be quoting the value?

I found PQftype() and have reviewed pg_type and pg_attribute, but don't
see
a clean way of figuring this out.

Thanks,
Tony
