   <function>pg_fetch_array</function> returns an array that

  </para>
  <para>
   <function>pg_fetch_array</function> is an extended version of
   <function>pg_fetch_row</function>.  In addition to storing the
   data in the numeric indices (field number) to the result array, it
   can also store the data using associative indices (field name).
   It stores both indicies by default.

   <function>pg_fetch_array</function> is NOT significantly
   slower than using <function>pg_fetch_row</function>, and

       An optional parameter that controls

       <parameter>result_type</parameter> is a constant and can take the
       following values: <constant>PGSQL_ASSOC</constant>,

       Using <constant>PGSQL_NUM</constant>, <function>pg_fetch_array</function>
       will return an array with numerical indices, using
       <constant>PGSQL_ASSOC</constant> it will return only associative indices
       while <constant>PGSQL_BOTH</constant>, the default, will return both
       numerical and associative indices.
