 * 2001.11.28 Claudio Valderrama: load not only udfs but udf arguments;
 *   handle possible collisions with udf redefinitions (drop->declare).
 *   This closes SF Bug# 409769.
 * 2001.12.06 Claudio Valderrama: METD_get_charset_bpc() was added to
 *    get only the bytes per char of a field, given its charset id.
 *   This request is not cached.
 * 2001.02.23 Claudio Valderrama: Fix SF Bug #228135 with views spoiling
 *    NULLs in outer joins.
 * 2004.01.16 Vlad Horsun: make METD_get_col_default and 
 *   METD_get_domain_default return actual length of default BLR
 * 2004.01.16 Vlad Horsun: added support for default parameters
