I've created a new custom datatype
eg:
create type foo as (
id smallint
data1 int
data2 int
)
to view the datatype in psql I do
=> \d foo
what is the equilvalent on pgadmin3 or any other SQL query tool?
As i understand from the docs, I can't alter / change the datatype
definition. If I need to change it, I need to drop it and re-create it
again. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct. pgAdmin3 will be your friend, as it shows a commented out drop
type instruction within eery create type script.
