/*{
** Name: adt_compare() - Compare 2 data values.
**
** Description:
**	This routine compares two data values.  This will tell the caller if the
**	supplied values are equal, or if not, which one is "greater than" the
**	other.
**
**	This routine exists as a performance boost for DMF.  DMF is not allowed
**	to know how to compare data values for the various datatypes.
**	Therefore, if this routine did not exist, DMF would have to make a
**	function call to "adc_compare()" for every attribute in the tuples
**	being compared.  Even though tuples are constructs that seem a level
**	above what ADF logically handles, the performance improvement in this
**	case justifies this routine.
**
**	To avoid the overhead of an adc_compare call,
**	this routine has built into it the semantics for
**	comparing several of the most common datatypes supported by INGRES.
**
**	If the routine does run across a datatype that is not in this list, it
**	will call the general routine "adc_compare()", thereby guaranteeing
**	that it will function (perhaps slower), for ALL datatypes, even future
**	user defined ADTs.
**
**	When NULL values are involved, this routine will use the same semantics
**	that "adc_compare()" uses:  a NULL value will be considered greater
**	than any other value, and equal to another NULL value.
**
**	PLEASE NOTE:  As with "adc_compare()", no pattern matching for
**	-----------   the string datatypes is done within this routine.
**
**
** Inputs:
**	adf_scb				Pointer to an ADF session control block.
**	    .adf_errcb			ADF_ERROR struct.
**		.ad_ebuflen		The length, in bytes, of the buffer
**					pointed to by ad_errmsgp.
**		.ad_errmsgp		Pointer to a buffer to put formatted
**					error message in, if necessary.
**      atr                             Pointer to DB_ATTR.
**      d1                        	Pointer to first value.
**      d2                              Pointer to second value.
**
** Outputs:
**	adf_scb				Pointer to an ADF session control block.
**	    .adf_errcb			ADF_ERROR struct.  If an
**					error occurs the following fields will
**					be set.  NOTE: if .ad_ebuflen = 0 or
**					.ad_errmsgp = NULL, no error message
**					will be formatted.
**		.ad_errcode		ADF error code for the error.
**		.ad_errclass		Signifies the ADF error class.
**		.ad_usererr		If .ad_errclass is ADF_USER_ERROR,
**					this field is set to the corresponding
**					user error which will either map to
**					an ADF error code or a user-error code.
**		.ad_emsglen		The length, in bytes, of the resulting
**					formatted error message.
**		.adf_errmsgp		Pointer to the formatted error message.
**      status                          Status returned from
**					adc_compare(), if called.
**	
**	    The following DB_STATUS codes may be returned by adc_compare():
**	    E_DB_OK, E_DB_WARN, E_DB_ERROR, E_DB_SEVERE, E_DB_FATAL
**
**	    If a DB_STATUS code other than E_DB_OK is returned, the caller
**	    can look in the field adf_scb.adf_errcb.ad_errcode to determine
**	    the ADF error code.  The following is a list of possible ADF error
**	    codes that can be returned by this routine:
**
**          E_AD0000_OK                 Operation succeeded.
**          E_AD2004_BAD_DTID           Datatype id unknown to ADF.
**          E_AD2005_BAD_DTLEN          Internal length is illegal for
**					the given datatype.
**		(Others not yet defined)
**
** Returns:
**      i4  < 0   if 1st < 2nd
**          = 0   if 1st = 2nd
**          > 0   if 1st > 2nd

**
** History:
**      10-Feb-86 (thurston)
**          Initial creation.
**	03-apr-86 (thurston)
**	    Initial coding.  Also, added two more return statuses (stati?):
**          E_AD2004_BAD_DTID and E_AD2005_BAD_DTLEN.
**      11-jun-86 (jennifer)
**          Fixed bug compare result asigned to adt_cmp_result instead
**          of indirect through this pointer, i.e. *adt_cmp_result.
**      11-jun-86 (jennifer)
**	    Fixed bug where the first entry of attribute array (0)
**          was being used.  This entry is always garbage since 
**          attributes are numbered from 1.
**      27-jul-86 (ericj)
**	    Converted for new ADF error handling.
**	19-nov-86 (thurston)
**	    Fixed the comparison for text.
**	22-sep-88 (thurston)
**	    Added bit representation check as a first pass on each attr.  Also,
**	    added code to deal with nullable types here ... this could be a big
**	    win, since all nullable types were going through adc_compare(), now
**	    they need not.  Also, added cases for CHAR and VARCHAR.
**	21-oct-88 (thurston)
**	    Got rid of all of the `#ifdef BYTE_ALIGN' stuff by using the
**	    appropriate [I2,I4,F4,F8]ASSIGN_MACROs.  This also avoids a bunch
**	    of MEcopy() calls on BYTE_ALIGN machines.
**	21-Apr-89 (anton)
**	    Added local collation support
**	17-Jun-89 (anton)
**	    Moved local collation routines to ADU from CL
**	25-jul-89 (jrb)
**	    Added support for decimal datatype.
**	02-jan-90 (jrb)
**	    Fix alignment problem.
**	08-aug-91 (seg)
**	    "d1" and "d2" are dereferenced too often with the assumption
**	    that (PTR) == (char *) to fix.  Made them (char *).
**	28-mar-2001 (abbjo03)
**	    Add support for DB_NCHR_TYPE and DB_NVCHR_TYPE.
**	16-dec-04 (inkdo01)
**	    Add collation ID parm to aduucmp() calls.
**	02-Feb-2005 (jenjo02)
**	    Consolidated from the nine adt functions which duplicated
**	    this "compare" code. Runs the most optimal compare
**	    based on datatype for a single attribute.
**
**	    Optimized CHA/VCH compares to use MEcmp rather than
**	    CMcmpcase loop when possible.
**
**	    Replace giant switch statement with if-then-else
**	    ordered most likely to least likely, more or less.
**	    The switch was consuming 27% of the CPU used by this
**	    function.
**
**	    Added DB_STATUS *status as a function parameter so
**	    if adc_compare returns an error, it will be returned
**	    to the caller rather than as a bogus compare "result".
**	27-Apr-2005 (jenjo02 for stial01)
**	    Replaced computing compare value using arithmetic
**	    (d1 - d2) with logical compares ( d1 < d2...) as
**	    the arithmetic may over/underflow and return the
**	    wrong result.
**	13-May-2005 (thaju02)
**	    For differing length vchar, return value based on 
**	    comparison of longer length vchar to blank. (B114514)
**	19-Jun-2006 (gupsh01)
**	    Added support for new date/time types.
**	3-may-2007 (dougi)
**	    Tweak slightly to allow MEcmp() on collation/double byte
**	    if they're bytewise equal.
**	10-may-2007 (dougi)
**	    Add logic to handle ordering of c/text/char/varchar in UTF8
**	    server.
**	25-jul-2007 (gupsh01)	
**	    Although UTF8 is multibyte it is meant to be processed through
**	    UTF8 comparison code utilizing unicode comparison.
**	17-Aug-2007 (gupsh01)
**	    Fix the UTF8 handling.
