Hello, I am having some cockpit trouble with the following
MYSQL_RES *mysql_list_fields(MYSQL *mysql, const char *table, const char *wild); and it is like lack of understanding on my part. Syntax is: if (mysql_list_fields( &mysql, "some table name", "some field name")) mysql_store_result and mysql_fetch_row follow but nothing is ever returned. If I replace the mysql_list_fields with: if (mysql_query(&mysql,"Describe some_table_name")) everything works. Where am I missing the boat here ? Thanks Bill -- William R.
