I'm writing a program using the C API. When I do a query "SHOW TABLES" am I sure that on every installation it will return a result set of one column containing the tables name, or there are systems where that's not true ? Am I sure that from a "SHOW FIELDS FROM table" i'll get a result set with the column name in the first field and the type in the second (with other info on other fields) ?
It sounds like you're not sure at all. :-)
But to answer what I suspect you're asking: - The output of SHOW TABLES always contains a single column. - The output of SHOW FIELDS always contain columns names and types in the first two columns. Note the that output may consist of no *rows*, but that's what the columns are used for. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
