Description of changes
This PR fixes an issue with using
.sql()with MySQL in environments where theuser doesn't have permission to create tables.
Previously we created a temporary table with zero rows and then used that to
discover types of a query.
In this PR, I use the given zero-row
SELECTquery to get the types of the columnsusing
cursor.descriptionalong with some low level details of the MySQL protocol.Inferring types this way doesn't allow getting type information from ad-hoc
types that use plugins, like uuid or inet, so their physical type is used
(string in both those cases).
This seems like an acceptable tradeoff given that without this change
.sql()cannot be used in a whole class of deployments/environments.
