Name: SQL::DATABASE-COLUMN-INFO

Section: Generic Sql Interface

Synopsis:

<sql::database-column-info DBVAR TABLE FIELDNAME

Description:

Returns an association list of properties on the specified COLUMN in the table 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. This means that you should use the command sql::database-columns-info if you are looking for information on several columns, as opposed to the specific column mentioned by COLUMN.
