Class PostgresDomainType

Namespace
Npgsql.PostgresTypes
Assembly
Npgsql.dll

Represents a PostgreSQL domain type.

public class PostgresDomainType : PostgresType
Inheritance
PostgresDomainType
Inherited Members

Remarks

See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-createdomain.html.

When PostgreSQL returns a RowDescription for a domain type, the type OID is the base type's (so fetching a domain type over text returns a RowDescription for text). However, when a composite type is returned, the type OID there is that of the domain, so we provide "clean" support for domain types.
