The above makes no sense, you are using a different type.

In Postgres tables already have a type, hence:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/sql-createtype.html

"If a schema name is given then the type is created in the specified
schema. Otherwise it is created in the current schema. The type name
must be distinct from the name of any existing type or domain in the
same schema. (Because tables have associated data types, the type name
must also be distinct from the name of any existing table in the same
schema.)"

Some explanation of exactly what you are trying to do, in other words
code, would be helpful.
