A long time ago, I added tableinfo support for the Oracle wrapper in DB. I suggest you start by defining tableinfo structure so that it looks the same for every databases. Start by looking at how it is implemented in Oracle wrapper, then in MySQL wrapper. Compare them, you will notice many differences. When the structure is ready, I suggest you post it to the list so we can all have a look and help. Good luck, Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
