.Sh NAME
.Nm sqlite3_column_count
.Nd number of columns in a result set
.Sh SYNOPSIS

.Ft int
.Fo sqlite3_column_count
.Fa "sqlite3_stmt *pStmt"

.Sh DESCRIPTION
Return the number of columns in the result set returned by the prepared statement.
If this routine returns 0, that means the prepared statement
returns no data (for example an UPDATE).
However, just because this routine returns a positive number does not
mean that one or more rows of data will be returned.
A SELECT statement will always have a positive sqlite3_column_count()
but depending on the WHERE clause constraints and the table content,
it might return no rows.
