Looks like the supported drivers are: dblib, firebird, pgsql, mysql, sqlite. And the unsupported drivers are: oci and odbc Thanks to Joe for looking it up. If nobody starts yelling at me for doing the above in the coming days I will go ahead and do it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-04-04 13:53:26] derek dot price at dxc dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/pdostatement.getcolumnmeta --- This manual page should no longer list this feature as experimental. It has been around for at least 10 years. There is a comment on the page that is 8 years old and a link to an external discussion that is 10 years old. This is a very useful feature and SHOW COLUMNS is no substitute since a select query may bridge multiple tables and may include calculations that are not directly part of any table. Without this method, there is not even a way to gather the column names from an empty result set from PDO. Expected result: ---------------- The EXPERIMENTAL tag should be removed from the manual page for PDOStatement::getColumnMeta(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74370&edit=1
