Fetch database meta data in codeigniter 4
Deepak Tailor - Dec 01 2020
Which tables are we using in the metadata database? And what are the names of the columns in the table. Etc. We can check.
Tables List in our connected database
To list the tables, we use the listTables function. This function returns the array of the table name.
public function table_list()
{
// $this->seller database connection
$query = $this->seller->listTables();
echo "<pre>";
print_r($query);
}Check table exist in database
We can check with tableExists function whether a table exists in the database. It returns true or false.
public function table_exists()
{
$query = $this->seller->tableExists('users');
if($query == true){
echo "Table Exist";
}
else{
echo "Table Not Exist";
}
}Fetch fields list in table
With the getFieldNames function, we can fetch the column names of any table.
public function table_fields()
{
$query = $this->seller->getFieldNames('users');
echo "<pre>";
print_r($query);
}Check field name exist in table
Use the fieldExist function to check the field names in the table.
public function field_exist()
{
$query = $this->seller->fieldExists('salary','users');
if($query == true){
echo "Field Exist";
}
else{
echo "Field Not Exist";
}
}Fetch fields metadata
To get the field's meta data, we use the getFieldData function. From this we can find column name, type, maximum length, primary key etc.
public function field_data()
{
$query = $this->seller->getFieldData('users');
echo "<pre>";
print_r($query);
