Subject: PQftype() and Oid

Hi,

Oids are in pg_type catalog (server side) and src/include/catalog/pg_type.h
(hard-wired).

But what should we compare the Oid returned by PQftype() with?
Let's say I want to check if column 1 is a VARCHAR, do I have to

if (PQftype(res,1) == 1043)
 ...;

?
Isn't there a kind of enum which we could rely on to find out types? What if
Oids change in pg_type.h?

Thanks

Charles
