Tom Lane	976246cc7e	The cstring datatype can now be copied, passed around, etc. The typlen value '-2' is used to indicate a variable-width type whose width is computed as strlen(datum)+1. Everything that looks at typlen is updated except for array support, which Joe Conway is working on; at the moment it wouldn't work to try to create an array of cstring.	2002-08-24 15:00:47 +00:00
Tom Lane	b663f3443b	Add a bunch of pseudo-types to replace the behavior formerly associated with OPAQUE, as per recent pghackers discussion. I still want to do some more work on the 'cstring' pseudo-type, but I'm going to commit the bulk of the changes now before the tree starts shifting under me ...	2002-08-22 00:01:51 +00:00
