Thanks for the advise. I wanted a more automatic method of prefixing
column names, but I ended up just aliasing them all.
I know I could always just issue multiple SELECTs, but I wish MySQL
would support this sort of functionality natively. I'd really like to
reference my results as $result["table0"]["column0"] from a single SELECT.
Anyways, thanks all.

Many of my MySQL tables have columns with the same name. I want to have
PDO include table names in named result sets. For example:
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM table0, table1");
$result = $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
I want $result to be organized like:
echo $result["table0.column0"];
echo $result["table0.column1"];
echo $result["table1.column0"];
echo $result["table1.column1"];
Or, alternatively:
echo $result["table0"]["column0"];
echo $result["table0"]["column1"];
echo $result["table1"]["column0"];
echo $result["table1"]["column1"];
Any ideas? Thanks!
Sounds like you want to UNION two SELECTs
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/union.html
(SELECT col1, col2, col4 FROM table1 WHERE ... ORDER BY ...)
UNION
(SELECT col1, col2, col4 FROM table2 WHERE ... ORDER BY ...)
