        for (int i=0;i < reader.FieldCount;i++)
        {
          string fieldType = reader.GetDataTypeName(i);
          string fieldName = reader.GetName(i);
          string fieldType2 = reader.GetFieldType(i).FullName;
          Console.WriteLine(fieldName+"\t"+ fieldType+"\t"+ fieldType2);
        }
