Bug #15939 for DBD-PgPP: table_info not implemented

Subject:

table_info not implemented

DBI provides the table_info method and many DBD's support it including DBD::Pg. I would need this feature to use DBD::PgPP in my codebases because it relies on this feature for database independence.

That's an entirely reasonable request, and I do plan to support table_info (and last_insert_id, as you've mentioned in #15894). However, I'm afraid I'm unlikely to implement either of them in the very near future. For the time being, I'm concentrating on fixing the bugs in the basic protocol implementation. That said, if anyone wants to supply an implementation (with tests), I'll do a release including it asap. -- Aaron Crane

Would the code from DBD::Pg port over to DBD::PgPP well?

I'm afraid I don't really know the DBD::Pg codebase, but it might. If you're eager to see DBD::PgPP support table_info and/or last_insert_id soon, that could well be a productive approach. -- Aaron Crane
