NAME

       odbx_column_count - Get the number of columns in the current result set

SYNOPSIS

       #include <opendbx/api.h>

       int odbx_column_count (odbx_result_t* result);

DESCRIPTION

       Returns  the  number  of  columns which belongs to the current result set allocated by odbx_result(). The
       number will never change within a result set with one notable exception: MySQL  returns  all  outstanding
       rows  of  a  previous  result  set  first if they were not fetched completely by odbx_row_fetch() before.
       Therefore, the column count might change in this special situation. It is strongly advised to  fetch  all
       rows  of  a  result set before calling odbx_result() again because other backends will return an error in
       this case.

       The result parameter required by this function must be a valid result set returned by  odbx_result()  and
       must not has been feed to odbx_result_finish() before.

RETURN VALUE

       odbx_column_count()  returns  the number of columns/fields which are available in the current result set.
       The value depends on the column list being part of the SELECT query and it is zero if the query wasn't  a
       SELECT-like query.

ERRORS

       This function will also return zero if the result parameter is invalid.
