I'm writing a generic database interface, similar to MS Access. Up until...
So, I take it the answer is still 'no'; I can't portably detect this kind
of thing. I'll go back to parsing the output of $dbh->column_info then.
column_info() won't help with with things like triggers. A generic database
abstraction layer (at a higher level than DBI) is a wheel that has been
invented many times over. You might be better served to use one of those,
or at least get some inspirations from them on how to do things. Some
ones that jump to mind are Rose::DB, and Class::DBI. Here's a handy link:
