Yes, the while loop will retrieve all the rows from the database.
The foreach loop you had been using was retrieving all the data from each
row. The only appreciable difference between your code and mine is in the
circumstance, if you added more columns to the database, you would need to
add more code to access that data in my code, whereas your code you wouldn't
need to add any more code.
