Summary

prsd_lextype is a PostgreSQL built-in function in the Miscellaneous Functions group. PostgreSQL’s system catalog (pg_proc) describes it as: “(internal)”.

Signature

prsd_lextype(internal) → internal

Argument and return types are taken from the pg_proc catalog; internal type names are shown using their readable SQL spellings (for example int4 is shown as integer). (Derived from the catalog — see the linked reference for the canonical documentation.)

Classification

  • Category: Miscellaneous Functions
  • Kind: Function
  • Volatility: IMMUTABLE — Marked IMMUTABLE — it always returns the same result for the same arguments and can be used in indexes and other contexts that require immutability.
  • Returns: internal

Example

Illustrative form (replace placeholder values with your own data):

SELECT prsd_lextype(NULL::internal);

The example above is illustrative and is meant to show calling syntax only; consult the linked PostgreSQL documentation for exact semantics, edge cases and accepted argument combinations.

Version applicability

prsd_lextype is present across the surveyed releases (PostgreSQL 15, 16, 17, 18, 19). On older major versions, behaviour may differ in detail — always check the documentation for the version you run.
