Hi community,
I would like to retrieve all the fieldnames of a given table. In the
perl module Tie::DBI[1] i found the following fragment:
$dbh->prepare("LISTFIELDS $table");
in the case the DB supports this (Tie::DBI thinks so for Pg) or the
alternative is:
$dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE 0=1");
The first one doesn't work in my PostgreSQL 7.4.3:
% LISTFIELDS foobar;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "LISTFIELDS" at character 1
%
and the seconds one looks ugly. Is there a solution for the problem?
Greetings
