Howdy:

I'm looking around but I can't seem to find documentation
that will give me a description / definition of what
the system tables do.

Is there a link someplace that will tell me, for example,
what 'pg_type' does and why I would use it?

Thanks!

Look in the "System Catalogs" chapter of the Developer's Guide, eg
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.2/postgres/catalogs.html
