Any help would be greatly appreciated..

man psql

Use psql to find all SQL equivalents.
If you run psql with -E, you will be able to read all of SQL queries
psql executes.

Start psql with the -E option, and you can see all the internally 
generated queries. E.g (ex1_tup is a composite type):

psql -E regression

[snipped all the startup stuff]

regression=# \d ex1_tup
********* QUERY **********
SELECT c.oid,
   n.nspname,
   c.relname
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c
      LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace
WHERE pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)
       AND c.relname ~ '^ex1_tup$'
ORDER BY 2, 3;
**************************

********* QUERY **********
SELECT relhasindex, relkind, relchecks, reltriggers, relhasrules
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class WHERE oid = '1336877'
**************************

********* QUERY **********
SELECT a.attname,
   pg_catalog.format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod),
   (SELECT substring(d.adsrc for 128) FROM pg_catalog.pg_attrdef d
    WHERE d.adrelid = a.attrelid AND d.adnum = a.attnum AND a.atthasdef),
   a.attnotnull, a.attnum
FROM pg_catalog.pg_attribute a
WHERE a.attrelid = '1336877' AND a.attnum > 0 AND NOT a.attisdropped
ORDER BY a.attnum
**************************

Composite type "public.ex1_tup"
  Column  | Type
---------+------
  relname | name
  colname | name

HTH,

Joe
