You can access the same column information about the results of a query that you can for table schemas. See Columns for the columns returned.

Retrieving Result Set Metadata

You can use the GetSchemaTable method of the ApacheCouchDBDataReader to retrieve result set metadata. Call GetSchemaTable after calling ExecuteReader.

Each row of the DataTable describes a column in the query's result.

C#

string connectionString = "User=abc123; Password=abcdef;";

using (ApacheCouchDBConnection conn = new ApacheCouchDBConnection(connectionString)) {
  ApacheCouchDBCommand cmd = new ApacheCouchDBCommand("SELECT * FROM Movies WHERE MovieRating = 'R'", conn);
  ApacheCouchDBDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
  DataTable schemaTable = rdr.GetSchemaTable();
  foreach (DataRow row in schemaTable.Rows) {
    foreach (DataColumn col in schemaTable.Columns) {
      Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", col.ColumnName, row[col]);
    }
  }
}

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As String = "User=abc123; Password=abcdef;"

Using conn As New ApacheCouchDBConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New ApacheCouchDBCommand("SELECT * FROM Movies WHERE MovieRating = 'R'", conn)
  Dim rdr As ApacheCouchDBDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
  Dim schemaTable As DataTable = rdr.GetSchemaTable()
  For Each row As DataRow In schemaTable.Rows
    For Each col As DataColumn In schemaTable.Columns
      Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", col.ColumnName, row(col))
    Next
  Next
