<p class="para rdfs-comment">
Calling <span class="function"><strong>fbsql_fetch_assoc()</strong></span> is equivalent to calling
<span class="function"><a href="function.fbsql-fetch-array.html" class="function">fbsql_fetch_array()</a></span> with
<strong><code>FBSQL_ASSOC</code></strong> as second parameter. It only returns an
associative array.
</p>
<p class="para">
This is the way <span class="function"><a href="function.fbsql-fetch-array.html" class="function">fbsql_fetch_array()</a></span> originally
worked. If you need the numeric indices as well as the
associative, use <span class="function"><a href="function.fbsql-fetch-array.html" class="function">fbsql_fetch_array()</a></span>.
</p>
<p class="para">
An important thing to note is that using
<span class="function"><strong>fbsql_fetch_assoc()</strong></span> is NOT significantly
slower than using <span class="function"><a href="function.fbsql-fetch-row.html" class="function">fbsql_fetch_row()</a></span>, while it
provides a significant added value.

Returns an associative array that corresponds to the fetched row, or

If two or more columns of the result have the same field names, the last
column will take precedence. To access the other column(s) of the same
name, you must use <span class="function"><a href="function.fbsql-fetch-array.html" class="function">fbsql_fetch_array()</a></span> and have it
return the numeric indices as well.
