    That function call doesn't "give" any data at all, except for the
rowcount (which would be the number of columns in the table).

Really?

    cursor.execute('describe %s;' % store)
    storeDescription = cursor.fetchall()
    print storeDescription

Prints out this:

(('ID', 'tinyint(5) unsigned', 'NO', 'PRI', None, 'auto_increment'), ('SKU', 'varchar(40)', 'NO', 'UNI', None, ''), ('Category', 'varchar(40)', 'YES', '', None, ''), ('Name', 'varchar(50)', 'NO', '', None, ''), ('Title', 'varchar(100)', 'NO', '', None, ''), ('Description', 'mediumtext', 'NO', '', None, ''), ('Price', 'float(8,2)', 'YES', '', None, ''), ('SortFactor', 'int(4)', 'YES', '', '500', ''), ('Availability', 'tinyint(1)', 'NO', '', None, ''), ('ShipFlatFee', 'float(5,2)', 'NO', '', '10.00', ''), ('ShipPercentPrice', 'tinyint(2) unsigned', 'NO', '', '5', ''), ('ShipPercentWeight', 'tinyint(2) unsigned', 'NO', '', '2', ''), ('Associations', 'varchar(40)', 'NO', '', None, ''), ('TempPrice', 'float(7,2)', 'NO', '', None, ''), ('LastDatePrice', 'date', 'NO', '', None, ''), ('Weight', 'float(7,2)', 'NO', '', None, ''), ('Metal', "enum('14k gold','18k gold','white gold','silver','tungsten','titanium')", 'NO', '', None, ''), ('PercentMetal', 'tinyint(2) unsigned', 'NO', '', None, ''), ('pic1', 'blob', 'YES', '', None, ''), ('pic2', 'blob', 'YES', '', None, ''), ('sizes', "set('Extra-small','Small','Medium','Large','XLarge','XXLarge','XXXLarge')", 'YES', '', None, ''), ('colorsShadesNumbersShort', "set('blue:333399','gray:465945','purple:50404D','navy-blue:CC7722','fuchsia:FF77FF','aqua:7FFFD4','maroon:B03060','black:0000FF','yellow:9ACD32','teal:E2725B','olive:6B8E23','green:00A550','white:0F4D92','silver:708090','red:FE2712','lime:32CD32')", 'YES', '', None, ''))
    In my version of MySQL, he default value is in the fifth column of the
    result set.


Nice. As you can see, I only get 4 columns by default. How do I get the fifth?

That's strange, I count 6!

For example, the first field has the following columns:

    1. 'ID'

    2. 'tinyint(5) unsigned'

    3. 'NO'

    4. 'PRI'

    5. None

    6. 'auto_increment'
