At present 'psql' handles 6 PostgreSQL data types: PGINT4; PGFLOAT8; PGDOUBLE; PGDATE; PGDATETIME and PGVARCHAR. If a query returns tuples of a different data type, these will be compiled into a list (on output) as Pd 'symbols'. In contrast, PGINT4, PGFLOAT8 and PGDOUBLE are compiled into lists as floats. Like non-specified data types, PGDATE, PGDATETIME and PGVARCHAR are compiled into lists as 'symbols'.
