function db_field_names

Same name in other branches
  1. 7.x includes/database/database.inc \db_field_names()

Return value

array An array of field names.

Deprecated

in drupal:8.0.0 and is removed from drupal:9.0.0. Instead, get a database connection injected into your service from the container, get its schema driver, and call fieldNames() on it. For example, $injected_database->schema()->fieldNames($fields);
