* NOTES
*
* In general, this file should contain declarations that are widely needed
* in the backend environment, but are of no interest outside the backend.
*
* Simple type definitions live in c.h, where they are shared with
* postgres_fe.h. We do that since those type definitions are needed by
* frontend modules that want to deal with binary data transmission to or
* from the backend. Type definitions in this file should be for
* representations that never escape the backend, such as Datum.

* The functions below and the analogous functions for other types should be used to
* convert between a Datum and the appropriate C type.
