   The view <code class="literal">user_defined_types</code> currently contains
   all composite types defined in the current database.
   Only those types are shown that the current user has access to (by way
   of being the owner or having some privilege).
  </p><p>
   SQL knows about two kinds of user-defined types: structured types
   (also known as composite types
   in <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>) and distinct types (not
   implemented in <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>).  To be
   future-proof, use the
   column <code class="literal">user_defined_type_category</code> to
   differentiate between these.  Other user-defined types such as base
   types and enums, which are <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>
   extensions, are not shown here.  For domains,
   see <a class="xref" href="infoschema-domains.html" title="37.23. domains">Section 37.23</a> instead.
