    43     \class Q3SqlFieldInfo
       
    44     \brief The Q3SqlFieldInfo class stores meta data associated with a SQL field.
       
    45 
       
    46     \compat
       
    47 
       
    48     Q3SqlFieldInfo objects only store meta data; field values are
       
    49     stored in QSqlField objects.
       
    50 
       
    51     All values must be set in the constructor, and may be retrieved
       
    52     using isRequired(), type(), length(), precision(), defaultValue(),
       
    53     name(), isGenerated() and typeID().

    70     Constructs a Q3SqlFieldInfo with the following parameters:
       
    71     \table
       
    72     \row \i \a name  \i the name of the field.
       
    73     \row \i \a typ   \i the field's type in a QVariant.
       
    74     \row \i \a required  \i greater than 0 if the field is required, 0
       
    75     if its value can be NULL and less than 0 if it cannot be
       
    76     determined whether the field is required or not.
       
    77     \row \i \a len  \i the length of the field. Note that for
       
    78     non-character types some databases return either the length in
       
    79     bytes or the number of digits. -1 signifies that the length cannot
       
    80     be determined.
       
    81     \row \i \a prec  \i the precision of the field, or -1 if the field
       
    82     has no precision or it cannot be determined.
       
    83     \row \i \a defValue  \i the default value that is inserted into
       
    84     the table if none is specified by the user. QVariant() if there is
       
    85     no default value or it cannot be determined.
       
    86     \row \i \a typeID  \i the internal typeID of the database system
       
    87     (only useful for low-level programming). 0 if unknown.
       
    88     \row \i \a generated  \i TRUE indicates that this field should be
       
    89     included in auto-generated SQL statments, e.g. in Q3SqlCursor.
       
    90     \row \i \a trim  \i TRUE indicates that widgets should remove
       
    91     trailing whitespace from character fields. This does not affect
       
    92     the field value but only its representation inside widgets.
       
    93     \row \i \a calculated  \i TRUE indicates that the value of this
       
    94     field is calculated. The value of calculated fields can by
       
    95     modified by subclassing Q3SqlCursor and overriding
       
    96     Q3SqlCursor::calculateField().
