Name: ODBC::DATABASE-COLUMN-INFO

Section: Odbc Database Operators

Synopsis:

`<odbc::database-column-info DBVAR TABLE FIELDNAME>`

Description:

Returns an alist of properties of a column of a table. Example: ((NAME . "realname")(LENGTH . "30")(TYPE . "GSQL_CHAR")(IS_UNIQUE . "")(IS_NULLABLE . "true")(QUALIFIER . "")(OWNER . "")(TYPENAME . "")(PRECISION . "0")(SCALE . "0")(RADIX . "0")(TABLE . "accounts"))

This is actually implemented by fetching information on *all* columns and selecting the specified one. It is thus more efficient, if you are looking for info on several columns, to use database-columns-info, and get all the column information in a single array.
