[I] c/driver/postgresql: postgres type not included in string columns created for NUMERIC [arrow-adbc]

["lupko (via GitHub)" <gi...@apache.org>]

lupko opened a new issue, #1515:

   Today, ADBC driver for PostgreSQL will output all PostgreSQL NUMERIC columns as Arrow strings. See #767 as to why.
   
   A little hole in the current behavior is that the driver will not indicate that the particular result string column is actually holding NUMERIC values. If client code would like to perform lossy conversion of such string columns (to say double), it currently has no simple way to identify such columns.
   
   For some types (such as user defined types) the ADBC PostgreSQL driver already includes field-level metadata describing the postgres type. It would be great if it does the same for string columns holding numeric values.
