## pdo_stmt_t definition

All fields should be treated as read-only unless explicitly stated otherwise.

* | The driver must set this during SKEL_handle_preparer().
** | This item is for use by the driver; the intended usage is to store a pointer (during SKEL_handle_factory()) to whatever instance data is required to maintain a connection to the database.
*** | This is set by PDO after the statement has been executed for the first time. Your driver can inspect this value to determine if it can skip one-time actions as an optimization.
**** | Discussed in more detail in Fleshing out your skeleton.
***** | Your driver is responsible for setting this field to the number of columns available in a result set. This is usually set during SKEL_stmt_execute() but with some database implementations, the column count may not be available until SKEL_stmt_fetch() has been called at least once. Drivers that implement SKEL_stmt_next_rowset() should update the column count when a new rowset is available.
****** | PDO will allocate this field based on the value that you set for the column count. You are responsible for populating each column during SKEL_stmt_describe(). You must set the `precision` , `maxlen` , `name` , `namelen` and `param_type` members for each column. The `name` is expected to be allocated using emalloc(); PDO will call efree() at the appropriate time.
