Oh I see there can help only Oliver Elphick or Paul DuBois.

The function prototype looks right now like:

/* {{{ proto object pg_fetch_object(int result, int row)
   Fetch a row as an object */

While the function prototype in MySQL looks:

/* {{{ proto object mysql_fetch_object(int result [, int result_typ])
   Fetch a result row as an object */

The optional result_typ is a constant and can be set to MYSQL_ASSOC,
MYSQL_NUM, or MYSQL_BOTH.

This means, you don't have a second row numbered 1 in result index 2.

PS: If this is misleading, I should read the PHP documentation myself a
couple of times.
