RE: iterating over DictRow

Since DictRow's can be indexed by either the field name or the field index (either record["ID"] or record[0]) then I think what it "should" be is a little ambiguous. But you can always either cast it to a dict, or iterate over .keys() if you want the field names.

for field in dict(the_dict):
    ...
or
for field in the_dict.keys():
   ...
