That still doesn't work, because invoking with -1 on apr 1.2.2 v.s. 1.2.4
would be broken.
You can't change the binary or functional API between subversions.

Actually, it just occurred to me that we could do this in a completely
backward compatible manner, with (admittedly) somewhat ugly approach. We
could modify apr_dbd_get_entry to allow negative numbers (col is signed
int, so this should not be a problem), where -1 means "get the name of
the first column" and so on.
So, for APR 1.2.x, pseudo code would be (inside get_entry):
if (col < 0)
get_name(get_result_from_row(row), -col - 1);
The driver structure would not expose get_name function until 1.3, of
course, so everything would remain OK for inclusion in 1.2.x. Would this
be something APR committers would be willing to entertain?
