OK.
I am at the point now where I need to know what type of format you want the data to come out in.
Well...
What I'd like, I think, is something simple and straightforward. Right now we've got to fetch each column for each row one by one, which is a pain in the neck if you want to get a full row back. Having a fetchrow that returned an Array with the value for column one in the 0th slot, column 2 in the 1st slot and so on would be about 80% of the solution.
Having a fetchrow_hash that returned a Hash where the keys are the column names and the values are the column values would be most of the rest.
If you wanted to go the rest of the way and add an extra array version (where you get an array of rows, with each row entry being either a row array or a row hash) I think we'd be about where we'd love to be.
