 * dest.h--
 *		Whenever the backend is submitted a query, the results
 *		have to go someplace - either to the standard output,
 *		to a local portal buffer or to a remote portal buffer.
 *
 *	  - stdout is the destination only when we are running a
 *		backend without a postmaster and are returning results
 *		back to the user.
 *
 *	  - a local portal buffer is the destination when a backend
 *		executes a user-defined function which calls PQexec() or
 *		PQfn().  In this case, the results are collected into a
 *		PortalBuffer which the user's function may diddle with.
 *
 *	  - a remote portal buffer is the destination when we are
 *		running a backend with a frontend and the frontend executes
 *		PQexec() or PQfn().  In this case, the results are sent
 *		to the frontend via the pq_ functions.
 *
 *	  - None is the destination when the system executes
 *		a query internally.  This is not used now but it may be
 *		useful for the parallel optimiser/executor.
