PARAMETERS
o $result
- The query result identifier
o $index
-$index is the field whose type will be retrieved. The possible values of $index depend upon the value of
ingres.array_index_start. If ingres.array_index_start is 1 (the default) then $index must be between 1 and the value returned by
ingres_num_fields(3). If ingres.array_index_start is 0 then $index must be between 0 and ingres_num_fields(3)
- 1.
RETURN VALUES
ingres_field_type(3) returns the type of a field in a query result or FALSE on failure. Examples of types returned are IIAPI_BYTE_TYPE,
IIAPI_CHA_TYPE, IIAPI_DTE_TYPE, IIAPI_FLT_TYPE, IIAPI_INT_TYPE, IIAPI_VCH_TYPE. Some of these types can map to more than one SQL type
depending on the length of the field (see ingres_field_length(3)). For example IIAPI_FLT_TYPE can be a float4 or a float8. For detailed
information, see the Ingres OpenAPI User Guide, Appendix "Data Types" in the Ingres documentation.
