/*
 * SQL function: format_type(type_oid, typemod)
 *
 * `type_oid' is from pg_type.oid, `typemod' is from
 * pg_attribute.atttypmod. This function will get the type name and
 * format it and the modifier to canonical SQL format, if the type is
 * a standard type. Otherwise you just get pg_type.typname back,
 * double quoted if it contains funny characters or matches a keyword.
 *
 * If typemod is NULL then we are formatting a type name in a context where
 * no typemod is available, eg a function argument or result type.  This
 * yields a slightly different result from specifying typemod = -1 in some
 * cases.  Given typemod = -1 we feel compelled to produce an output that
 * the parser will interpret as having typemod -1, so that pg_dump will
 * produce CREATE TABLE commands that recreate the original state.  But
 * given NULL typemod, we assume that the parser's interpretation of
 * typemod doesn't matter, and so we are willing to output a slightly
 * "prettier" representation of the same type.  For example, type = bpchar
 * and typemod = NULL gets you "character", whereas typemod = -1 gets you
 * "bpchar" --- the former will be interpreted as character(1) by the
 * parser, which does not yield typemod -1.
 *
 * XXX encoding a meaning in typemod = NULL is ugly; it'd have been
 * cleaner to make two functions of one and two arguments respectively.
 * Not worth changing it now, however.

 * format_type_extended
 *      Generate a possibly-qualified type name.
 *
 * The default behavior is to only qualify if the type is not in the search
 * path, to ignore the given typmod, and to raise an error if a non-existent
 * type_oid is given.
 *
 * The following bits in 'flags' modify the behavior:
 * - FORMAT_TYPE_TYPEMOD_GIVEN
 *          include the typmod in the output (typmod could still be -1 though)
 * - FORMAT_TYPE_ALLOW_INVALID
 *          if the type OID is invalid or unknown, return ??? or such instead
 *          of failing
 * - FORMAT_TYPE_INVALID_AS_NULL
 *          if the type OID is invalid or unknown, return NULL instead of ???
 *          or such
 * - FORMAT_TYPE_FORCE_QUALIFY
 *          always schema-qualify type names, regardless of search_path
 *
 * Note that TYPEMOD_GIVEN is not interchangeable with "typemod == -1";
 * see the comments above for format_type().
 *
 * Returns a palloc'd string, or NULL.
