Method String

pkg/sql/types/types.go:2766–2806

String returns the name of the type, similar to the Name method. However, it expands CollatedStringFamily, ArrayFamily, and TupleFamily types to be more descriptive. TODO(andyk): It'd be nice to have this return SqlString() method output, since that is more descriptive.
