According to the C API docs on mysql_get_metadata: " If a statement passed to mysql_prepare() is one that produces a result set, mysql_get_metadata() returns the result set metadata in the form of a pointer to a MYSQL_RES structure that can be used to process the meta information such as total number of fields and individual field information."
This would imply that using a SHOW TABLES LIKE '?' as my prepared query and then calling mysql_get_metadata() should work just fine. My mysql_prepare() call works just fine, however when I make the call to mysql_get_metadata() it returns NULL. I would expect it to return the meta data describing the resultset for SHOW TABLES just like the docs say. This is happening on the download version of 4.1.1, as well as the latest bitkeeper version of 4.1.2. Is this a known issue? Are you not supposed to be able to use mysql_get_metadata on the SHOW queries? -- Nathaniel Blanchard Developer Sane Solutions, LLC 401-295-4809 ext 142 401-295-4154 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] This e-mail message may contain confidential information.
