dbcolname & dbnumcols

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks,

Do we have dbcolnames & dbnumcols in Perl DBI for Oracle as we have in Perl DBI Sybase

If no, how can we get the column names for a select query for Oracle dB in the perl script

See the documentation of the `Slice` parameter in DBI.	[reply] [d/l]

Additionally, read the section on DBI STATEMENT HANDLE OBJECTS and look over the subsection Statement Handle Attributes, paying particular attention to NUM_OF_FIELDS, NAME, etc. ...roboticus	[reply]
