<para>
If a statement passed to <function>maxdb_prepare</function> is one that produces
a result set, <function>maxdb_stmt_result_metadata</function> returns the result resource
that can be used to process the meta information such as total number of fields
and individual field information.
</para>
<note>
<para>This result set pointer can be passed as an argument to any of the
field-based functions that process result set metadata, such as:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><function>maxdb_num_fields</function></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><function>maxdb_fetch_field</function></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><function>maxdb_fetch_field_direct</function></para></listitem>

<listitem><para><function>maxdb_free_result</function></para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
</note>
<para>
The result set structure should be freed when you are done with it,
which you can do by passing it to <function>maxdb_free_result</function>
</para>
<note>
<para>
The result set returned by <function>maxdb_stmt_result_metadata</function> contains only
metadata. It does not contain any row results. The rows are obtained by using the
statement handle with <function>maxdb_fetch</function>.
