Subject: how to obtain column info
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1998 16:38:02 -0800
Message-ID: <3.0.1.32.19981110163802.007b72f0@ori-ind.com> (raw)

With libpq, how do you obtain column info (like type) for a table *before*
returning a result set? For instance, knowing the column type before
constructing an insert statement. A date will need quotes, a number won't,
a string will, etc.

Thanks,

Ken
