   Hi,

I'm writing a dynamic form handler, which dumps the form data into the
correct fields of a database.
I still need a way to find out which type a particular field has in the
database, in order to know whether I need quotes or not when i do an
insert into.

I'm using perl 5.004 with DBI::MySql and apache.

thanks in advance.
Jiri
