Hi, Maybe someone can answer me a couple of questions regarding above function:
I've seen that it doesn't return the declaration type for views in 3.0.8. Is this by design? Are there any plans to change this so that queries against views return the column types of the tables? I've looked at the opcodes executed and the two are quite different, I can't (currently) figure out how to change this myself. (I'd be glad to post this as a patch for inclusion.) As a workaround I'm currently executing the SELECT, which is performed by the view manually to gain the column type information. I'm wondering if there is any speed difference (any at all?) in doing so. I don't need exact timings just a rough understating of whats different would help me. (The view joins together approx. 5 tables, pulling a total of 20 columns.) Any help is appreciated, Michael
