 * FILE:
 * datum.c
 *
 * HEADER:
 * $Header: RCS/datum.c,v 1.10 91/11/09 01:47:55 mer Exp $
 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 *
 * In the implementation of the next routines we assume the following:
 *
 * A) if a type is "byVal" then all the information is stored in the
 * Datum itself (i.e. no pointers involved!). In this case the
 * length of the type is always greater than zero and less than
 * "sizeof(Datum)"
 * B) if a type is not "byVal" and it has a fixed length, then
 * the "Datum" always contain a pointer to a stream of bytes.
 * The number of significant bytes are always equal to the length of the
 * type.
 * C) if a type is not "byVal" and is of variable length (i.e. it has
 * length == -1) then "Datum" always points to a "struct varlena".
 * This varlena structure has information about the actual length of this
 * particular instance of the type and about its value.
 *
