Hello All, I have a very simple page that illustrates an issue I am having. (Please assume that dbConnect() returns a vaild connection and there is at least 1 record returned) <? include('GlobalFunctions.php'); $oConn = dbConnect(); $rsTest = pg_exec('SELECT "ridStudent" FROM "tblStudent"'); echo pg_fetch_result($rsTest,0,"ridstudent"); pg_close($oConn); ?> Can anyone please explain why this doesn't work. I know that I can use an all lowercase alias in the query, but there HAS to be an easier way. I currently am referencing everything by ordinal, that is going to bite me whenever someone decides to make a "simple" DB change. Is this pg_fetch results even the best thing to use?
