PDOStatement::getColumnMeta

(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL pdo >= 0.2.0)

PDOStatement::getColumnMeta — Returns metadata for a column in a result set

Опис

public PDOStatement::getColumnMeta(int $column): array|false

Retrieves the metadata for a 0-indexed column in a result set as an associative array.

Увага

Some drivers may not implement PDOStatement::getColumnMeta(), as it is optional. However, all PDO drivers documented in the manual implement this function.

Параметри

column: The 0-indexed column in the result set.

Значення, що повертаються

Returns an associative array containing the following values representing the metadata for a single column:

**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.
`precision`	The numeric precision of this column. Normally `0` for types other than floating point decimals.
`pdo_type`	The type of this column as represented by the `PDO::PARAM_*` constants.

Returns false if the requested column does not exist in the result set, or if no result set exists.

Приклад #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);
?>

Поданий вище приклад виведе:

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.

I found a short discussion related to this function at 
http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=497257

I haven't tried it (yet?) but hopefully someone can find it useful.

native_type has the following mapping for MySQL:
(tested in PHP 5.4, MySQL 5.7)

INT(11) (PKs) => LONG
TINYINT(4)    => TINY
DOUBLE        => DOUBLE
VARCHAR       => VAR_STRING
CHAR          => STRING
DATE          => DATE
Functions     => VAR_STRING
- DATEFORMAT()
- CONCAT()

This method is supported by sql server too (at least the version of the PDO driver 5.7.1)

Example:

array(8) {
  ["flags"]=>
  int(0)
  ["sqlsrv:decl_type"]=>
  string(12) "int identity"
  ["native_type"]=>
  string(6) "string"
  ["table"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["pdo_type"]=>
  int(2)
  ["name"]=>
  string(8) "IdCompra"
  ["len"]=>
  int(10)
  ["precision"]=>
  int(0)
}

I recently added a note to a small function that went through the results of PDOStatement::fetch and mapped columns to integer or float types.

I forgot to test for columns that can have a null value!

I'm updating the code here, sorry.

This website doesn't let me edit the original comment, so I'm just gonna link to a gist in case it needs even further fixes.

https://gist.github.com/AeonFr/db3b2a8a95753076d9e4da42d29365d2

I basically added this code:

<?php
if ($value === null) {
   continue;
}
?>
