It's a terrible idea-- to grok the code you need to keep referring back
to the query itself so that you can remember what index maps to what
field. I guess that's not so much a problem if you export the row values
to variables, but then again, why do in userspace what the
mysql_fetch_assoc() function readily does for you in engine space? :)
