 ===== Description =====
 fetchField() returns __database specific__ information about n<sup>th</sup> column in a row of a recordset. Column offsets start at zero. If no field number is provided, the first column is returned.
+If the recordset is available and the offset provided is in range, then an **ADOFieldObject** object is returned, otherwise the method returns **false**.
 **It is important to note that the information contained in the object returned varies from database to database.** There is a common set of fields returned, but the values vary from database to database for the same data type. Check the guide for each driver to see any extra information provided.
