`fbsql_fetch_array` is a combination of `fbsql_fetch_row` and `fbsql_fetch_assoc`.

An important thing to note is that using `fbsql_fetch_array` is NOT significantly slower than using `fbsql_fetch_row`, while it provides a significant added value.

&reftitle.parameters;

&fbsql.result.description;

`result_type`

- A constant and can take the following values: `FBSQL_ASSOC`, `FBSQL_NUM`, or `FBSQL_BOTH`.

  When using `FBSQL_BOTH`, 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.

&reftitle.returnvalues;

Returns an array that corresponds to the fetched row, or &false; if there are no more rows.

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.

    select t1.f1 as foo t2.f1 as bar from t1, t2
