Description:
The iso 9075 specification for the information schema supports information on the availabel domains, and information on the user defined types. However, it does not specify a table to discover what builtin datatypes are supported. Doing so would be beneficial to database administration / design tools. These tools could use this information to offer the user options for designing tables etcetera.

How to repeat:
NA

Suggested fix:
Add a table to the information schema that describes the builtin datatypes.
