rows.ColumnTypes() not working ?

[telemac]

Hello,

I need to get back the Mysql types of the columns of a request

Example code

columnTypes, err := rows.ColumnTypes()
...
for _, columnType := range columnTypes {
fmt.Printf("columnType = %#v\n", columnType.DatabaseTypeName())
}

this returns en empty string

See https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql/tree/columntype
Will merged when the other type interface implementations and the documentation are done

Ran into this just now, is there no workaround for this?

Edit: I guess the temporary workaround is to just manually merge the columntype branch. Works fine for now.

waiting for good news. I've tried the columntype branch, but nullable was not works correctly now.
