     <function>mssql_fetch_array</function> is an extended version of
     <function>mssql_fetch_row</function>.  In addition to storing the
     data in the numeric indices of the result array, it also stores
     the data in associative indices, using the field names as keys.
    </para>
    <para>
     An important thing to note is that using
     <function>mssql_fetch_array</function> is NOT significantly
     slower than using <function>mssql_fetch_row</function>, while it
     provides a significant added value.
