     Fetches the data for a column or function result.

    <para>
     Returns the column data. If an error occurs, &false; is returned
     and <function>ora_errorcode</function>
     will return a non-zero value. Note, however, that a test for &false;
     on the results from this function may be &true; in cases where there is
     not error as well (&null; result, empty string, the number 0, the
     string "0").
