| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| native_type | The PHP native type used to represent the column value. |

| flags | Any flags set for this column. |
| name | The name of this column as returned by the database. |
| table | The name of this column's table as returned by the database. |
| len | The length of this column. Normally -1 for types other than floating point decimals. |

Example #1 Retrieving column metadata
The following example shows the results of retrieving the metadata for a single column generated by a function (COUNT) in a PDO_SQLITE driver.

$select = $DB->query('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM fruit');
$meta = $select->getColumnMeta(0);
var_dump($meta);
?>
