I haven't looked into this, but your ChangeLog-entry rang a bell: Couldn' we instead use
'SHOW FIELDS FROM'...?

I think that selecting the first row from a table could lead to performance issues. Like
when you have a table having about 1MB binary data in a blog in the row, the database
would have to fetch all data if understand correctly.
