Re: PATCH: To fix the issue where cast function causes freeze (pgAdmin4)

OK, so the type names are affected by the duplicate column names, and
need to be avoided by using indexes and avoiding dicts. That's issue
#1409.

The second issue is that "SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP" gives us "now
timestamp with time zone (8)". Is the (8) also part of issue #1409, or
some other bug?

The third issue is fixed by this patch, so I'll commit that as there's
a ticket for the other bit already).
