Can't it get it for itself from the results of the query, ie, look at
PQftype() and so on to build a tupledesc?
I guess there are some gotchas with inconsistent type OIDs between
remote and local databases, but that still seems much less of a risk
than manual errors in giving the columnset definition. You could at
least check that PQfsize matches the local type's typlen as a way of
detecting chance collisions of user-defined type OIDs.
