Get the type of a field in a query result.
Note: Related Configurations
See ingres.array_index_start in Runtime Configuration
The query result identifier
index is the field whose type will be retrieved. The start and end values for index depends on the the value of ingres.array_index_start. If ingres.array_index_start is 0 then the field number must be between 0 and one less than the value given by ingres_num_fields(). Else if ingres.array_index_start is 0 then the field number must be between 1 and the value given by ingres_num_fields().
ingres_field_type() returns the type of a field in a query result, or FALSE on failure. Examples of types returned are IIAPI_BYTE_TYPE, IIAPI_CHA_TYPE, IIAPI_DTE_TYPE, IIAPI_FLT_TYPE, IIAPI_INT_TYPE, IIAPI_VCH_TYPE. Some of these types can map to more than one SQL type depending on the length of the field (see ingres_field_length()). For example IIAPI_FLT_TYPE can be a float4 or a float8. For detailed information, see the Ingres OpenAPI User Guide, Appendix "Data Types" in the Ingres documentation.
