dbGetInfo function

For <code>DBIDriver</code> subclasses, this should include the version of the
package (<code>driver.version</code>), the version of the underlying client
library (<code>client.version</code>), and the maximum number of connections
(<code>max.connections</code>).For <code>DBIConnection</code> objects this should report the version of
the DBMS engine (<code>db.version</code>), database name (<code>dbname</code>),
username, (<code>username</code>), host (<code>host</code>), port (<code>port</code>), etc.
It MAY also include any other arguments related to the connection
(e.g., thread id, socket or TCP connection type). It MUST NOT include the
password.For <code>DBIResult</code> objects, this should include the statement
being executed (<code>statement</code>), how many rows have been fetched so far
(in the case of queries) (<code>row.count</code>), how many rows were affected
(deleted, inserted, changed, or total number of records to be fetched).
(<code>rows.affected</code>), if the query is complete (<code>has.completed</code>),
and whether or not the query generates output (<code>is.select</code>).
