Comment (by bscott):

 the timestamptz was a bug in the provider, the next release will support
 that type whitout any problems.

 Looking at this in a more global perspective, it won't be possible to
 support all extended posgresql extended types. To support a postgres
 extended type we have to match it with a FDO type.
 The big problem actually is that the DescribeSchema function fail when
 there's a table with an unsupported type, making that complete schema
 unavailable.
 I would suggest to skip all tables with unsupported type and return only
 the tables/views with supported type. This way, these schemas will at
 least be available with the supported tables.
