net.box. It happens due to column type of the result of this
function being NULL.
I’ve checked and not only EXPLAIN results, but also EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN,
several pragmas (for instance, pragma table_info()) etc. So, initially problem
was not only in EXPLAIN statement. Please exposed commit message and
add tests on other cases.

Also, why did you decide to avoid sending type at all, instead of sending
UNKNOWN for example?

New version:

commit 29dde0365922bfcec0d159b36c6454854adf34f7
Author: Mergen Imeev <imeevma@gmail.com>
Date:   Fri Nov 16 13:34:46 2018 +0300

    sql: Print column type even if it is NULL
    
    Some commands, e.g. EXPLAIN, invokes SEGMENTATION FAULT when being
    executed through net.box. It happens due to column type of the
    result of this function being NULL. This patch adds checks for
    received column type.
