Sounds good. I think it would be silly to drop this change.
- It does not appear to impact existing code (patch switches based on argument count)
- The reason I discovered it because I was annoyed with what I thought the existing
behavior was.
Good luck with the new maintainership.

Thanks for checking the change :)
I'm the new module maintainer, so I'm asking previous module maintainers about it.
Since MySQL seems it does the same, I'll keep this behavior probably, but it is not a
promise yet. ;)

Implemented 6 months ago by jon (1.112) pgsql.c.
Looks reasonable.

Works wonderfully without the row. That's certainly a win convienence wise, especially
for folks coming over from mysql where the loop syntax is trivial
(while $row = fetch())
{}
I'd prefer to see the docs change then the functionality. I'll take a look at the code
itself but it is hard to see how this is a performance loss, most users end up keeping
a counter anyways.
Why do you prefer making the row required? It seems like a silly added restriction,
especially when I bet 80% of the cases where the function is called don't need it.

Additional comment:
All pg_fetch_* works as reporter mentioned, but
DO NOT take advantage of this.
I may change behavior after I check php3 and php4 CVS log :)
