The metadata function has changed it's calling interface, cause to
downgrade compatibility with table-class.

metadata($table = "", $full = false)
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The docs says:

"The data returned by metadata() is suitable for passing it to the Table
class. If you specify the full parameter, an additional column meta is
added, which is indexed by field name and returns the field number of that
name. Also, a column num_fields is added, containing the width of the
table."

Please refer to the source code, what has changed. I have made heavy
changes here for the Query_Sql-class.
