"The Perl DBI Database Driver Writer's Guide" mentions table_info() and type_info_all() as "Other statement methods":
<http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.46/lib/DBI/DBD.pm#Other_statement_methods>
Because the Metadata methods are treated in their own section:
<http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.46/lib/DBI/DBD.pm#METADATA_METHODS>
we can (IMO) discard the paragraph without substitution.
