<para>
<function>fbsql_fetch_array</function> is an extended version of
<function>fbsql_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>
If two or more columns of the result have the same field names,
the last column will take precedence. To access the other column(s)
of the same name, you must the numeric index of the column or
make an alias for the column.

<programlisting>
<![CDATA[
select t1.f1 as foo t2.f1 as bar from t1, t2
]]>
</programlisting>

</para>
<para>
An important thing to note is that using
<function>fbsql_fetch_array</function> is NOT significantly
slower than using <function>fbsql_fetch_row</function>, while it
provides a significant added value.
</para>
<para>
The optional second argument <parameter>result_type</parameter>
in <function>fbsql_fetch_array</function> is a constant and can
take the following values: FBSQL_ASSOC, FBSQL_NUM, and
FBSQL_BOTH.
</para>

<function>fbsql_fetch_row</function> and
<function>fbsql_fetch_assoc</function>.
