 PostgreSQL Documentation

 There are five forms of CREATE TYPE, as shown in the syntax synopsis
 above. They respectively create a composite type, an enum type, a range
 type, a base type, or a **shell type**. The first four of these are
 discussed in turn below. A **shell type** is simply a placeholder for a
 type to be defined later; it is created by issuing CREATE TYPE with no
 parameters except for the type name. **Shell types** are needed as forward
 references when creating range types and base types, as discussed in those
 sections.
