/*
 * CHAR() and VARCHAR() types are part of the SQL standard. CHAR()
 * is for blank-padded string whose length is specified in CREATE TABLE.
 * VARCHAR is for storing string whose length is at most the length specified
 * at CREATE TABLE time.
 *
 * It's hard to implement these types because we cannot figure out
 * the length of the type from the type itself. I changed (hopefully all) the
 * fmgr calls that invoke input functions of a data type to supply the
 * length also. (eg. in INSERTs, we have the tupleDescriptor which contains
 * the length of the attributes and hence the exact length of the char() or
 * varchar(). We pass this to bpcharin() or varcharin().) In the case where
 * we cannot determine the length, we pass in -1 instead and the input
 * converter does not enforce any length check.
 *
 * We actually implement this as a varlena so that we don't have to pass in
 * the length for the comparison functions. (The difference between these
 * types and "text" is that we truncate and possibly blank-pad the string
 * at insertion time.)
