**Column metadata**
Name	Value
native_type	The PHP native type used to represent the column value.
driver:decl_type	The SQL type used to represent the column value in the database. If the column in the result set is the result of a function, this value is not returned by PDOStatement::getColumnMeta().
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.

Exemplos

Exemplo #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.


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

O exemplo acima irá imprimir:

array(6) {
  ["native_type"]=>
  string(7) "integer"
  ["flags"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["name"]=>
  string(8) "COUNT(*)"
  ["len"]=>
  int(-1)
  ["precision"]=>
  int(0)
  ["pdo_type"]=>
  int(2)
}

This method is supported in the MySQL 5.0+ driver.  It can be used for object hydration:



<?php



$pdo_stmt = $dbh->execute('SELECT discussion.id, discussion.text, comment.id, comment.text FROM discussions LEFT JOIN comments ON comment.discussion_id = discussion.id');



foreach(range(0, $pdo_stmt->columnCount() - 1) as $column_index)

{

  $meta[] = $pdo_stmt->getColumnMeta($column_index);

}



while($row = $pdo_stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM))

{

  foreach($row as $column_index => $column_value)

  {

    //do something with the data, using the ids to establish the discussion.has_many(comments) relationship.

  }

}



?>



If you are building an ORM, this method is very useful to support more natural SQL syntax.  Most ORMs require the column names to be aliases so that they can be parsed and turned into objects that properly represent has_one, has_many, many_to_many relationships.
