In PHP if you get the rows with: $row = pg_Fetch_Object( $result, $rownum); You will be able to refer to them by name as $row->fieldname $row->otherfield and so on. This is very useful :-) Otherwise, if you want to know the column names, something like: SELECT attname FROM pg_attribute WHERE attrelid = (SELECT oid FROM pg_class WHERE relname = 'mytable') AND attnum > 0 ORDER BY attnum; will get them for you.
