A boolean type, for values that are true (nonzero) or false (zero).
The structure contains the members described in the following list:
MYSQL_FIELD
•
char * name
The name of the field, as a null-terminated string. If the field was given an alias with an

name
•
char * org_name
The name of the field, as a null-terminated string. Aliases are ignored. For expressions, the value is
an empty string.
•
char * table
The name of the table containing this field, if it isn't a calculated field. For calculated fields, the
value is an empty string. If the column is selected from a view,

char * org_table
The name of the table, as a null-terminated string. Aliases are ignored. If the column is selected from
a view,
org_table

char * db
The name of the database that the field comes from, as a null-terminated string. If the field is a
calculated field, is an empty string. For a UNION, the value is the empty string.
db
•
char * catalog
The catalog name. This value is always "def".
•
char * def
The default value of this field, as a null-terminated string. This is set only if you use
mysql_list_fields().
•
unsigned long length
The width of the field. This corresponds to the display length, in bytes.
The server determines the
length required for a data type capable of holding the largest possible value from the result column,
without knowing in advance the actual values that will be produced by the query for the result set.
•
unsigned long max_length
The maximum width of the field for the result set (the length in bytes of the longest field value for the
rows actually in the result set). If you use

variable is zero.
