Thread: New/Custom DataType - Altering definition / seeing definition in pgAdmin3
I've created a new custom datatype eg: create type foo as ( id smallint data1 int data2 int ) to view the datatype in psql I do => \d foo what is the equilvalent on pgadmin3 or any other SQL query tool? As i understand from the docs, I can't alter / change the datatype definition. If I need to change it, I need to drop it and re-create it again. Correct me if I'm wrong.
