[TYPO3-core] RFC #10786: Add a wrapper for mysql_fetch_field in t3lib_db

[Xavier Perseguers]

Hi,

>> Problem:
>> The Extbase persistence needs a new database method to fetch extended

>> loading of "has one" relations). This can be done with mysql_fetch_field
>> but it is not available as a wrapper function in t3lib_db right now.
>>
>> Solution:
>> Add a sql_fetch_field wrapper function to t3lib_db.

I did not search for Oracle but I agree with Masi, it must be portable.
