Thereare a few use cases where the caller doesn't need the ability to access the result set row by row, column by
columnusing PQgetvalue. Think of an ORM that is just going to copy the data from PGresult for each row into its own
structures.
It seems like you're sort of reinventing "single row mode":

Do we really need yet another way of breaking the unitary-query-result
abstraction?
