See the docs of DBI instead, the table_info() and column_info() methods. I think that's what you are looking for.

    I'd second Jenda's response. DBI is has some magic that will get you what you need, most of the time. My only comment would be that calling $table->header_info() method will give you some details of the table structure of the database file.
    Well, that's my $.02 worth. No, for refunds you'll have to check our customer service department.

    Thanks Jenda.

    I have been using the base module and not the DBI version but I am already using the DBI module for MySQL in the same code base so that may make more sense.

    Cheers
