I created a user-defined type in a Postgresql 9.2 database and am trying in the SELECT statement to get only an attribute of the UDT. However, I don't seem to get my code to work.

Creation of type and table:

CREATE TYPE ttp AS (f1 int, f2 int); CREATE TABLE tbl (ctyp ttp);

The SELECT statement:

-- does not work
SELECT ctyp.f1 FROM tbl
SELECT ctyp(f1) FROM testtable

Both times I get an error. Is it possible to access a single attribute defined in a UDT in a SELECT?
