네트워크 주소를 저장하는 용도인 cidr, inet, macaddr 같은 것도 있고, box, circle, line, path, point, polygon 같은 기하학적 값들을 위한 자료형도 존재한다.

눈여겨 볼 것은, regclass나 regtype 같은 고차 자료형(higher-order types)—자료형을 담는 자료형, Ruby의 Class 객체나 Python의 type 객체 같은 것들—도 존재한다는 사실. regoper, regproc 같은 자료형을 보면 알 수 있겠지만, 연산자나 프로시져를 값으로 사용할 수 있기도 하다. regoperator, regprocedure 자료형은 부분 적용(partial application)된 연산자, 프로시져를 담는다.
