  <para>
   <function>pg_field_type_oid</function> returns an integer containing the
   OID of the base type of the given <parameter>field_number</parameter> in the
   given PostgreSQL <parameter>result</parameter> resource.
  </para>
  <para>
    You can get more information about the field type by querying PostgreSQL's
    <literal>pg_type</literal> system table using the OID obtained with this function.
    The PostgreSQL <function>format_type</function> function will convert a
    type OID into an SQL standard type name.
  </para>
  <note>
   <para>
    If the field uses a PostgreSQL domain (rather than a basic type), it is
    the OID of the domain's underlying type that is returned, rather than the OID
    of the domain itself.
