msqlFetchField()

m_field * msqlFetchField ( result )

H   

m_result * result ;

Along with the actual data rows, the server returns information about the data

fields selected. This information is made available to the calling program via

the msqlFetchField() function. Like msqlFetchRow(), this function returns one

element of information at a time and returns NULL when no further information

is available. The data is returned in a m_field structure which contains the

following information:

typedef struct {

char

* name ;

/* name of field */

char

* table ;

/* name of table */

int

type ;

/* data type of field */

int

length ,

/* length in bytes of field

*/

int

flags ;

/* attribute flags */

} m_field;

Possible values for the type field are defined in msql.h as

G   

INT_TYPE, CHAR_TYPE and REAL_TYPE. The individual

attribute flags

can be accessed using the following macros:

msqlFieldSeek()

G   

void msqlFieldSeek ( result , pos )

H   

m_result * result ;

int pos ;

The result structure includes a "cursor" for the field data. It s

position can be moved using the

msqlFieldSeek() function. See msqlDataSeek() for further details.

msqlNumFields()

int msqlNumFields ( result )
