First time I posted a question using complicated example, but this time I'll
be wiser and simplify the question:

What is SPI equivalent for libpq PQftable & PQFtablecolumn functions ?

Regards !

There is none. SendRowDescriptionMessage gets the column ID info by
rooting around in the targetlist of the SELECT query, and you'd have
to do the same.

Thanks (again) Tom, I'll try to do as You suggested.
I was poking around backend libpq, but was unable to find where exactly
that information is prepared and send to libpq buffer.
