## Example

`

     array ingres_fetch_assoc ( resource $result )

`

## Description

This function is stores the data fetched from a query executed using ingres_query() in an associative array, using the field names as keys. With regard to speed, the function is identical to ingres_fetch_object(), and almost as quick as ingres_fetch_row() (the difference is insignificant). By default, arrays created by ingres_fetch_assoc() start from position 1 and not 0 as with other DBMS extensions. The starting position can be adjusted to 0 using the configuration parameter ingres.array_index_start. Note: Related Configurations See also the ingres.array_index_start, ingres.fetch_buffer_size and ingres.utf8 directives in Runtime Configuration.

## Return Values

Returns an associative array that corresponds to the fetched row, or FALSE if there are no more rows
