[DB-SIG] May we get an actual ANSWER to the F.A.Q...How can I construct a dictionary???

[Chris Cogdon]

Actually... some connectors do the assignment for you, such as pyPgSQL:

row = cursor.fetchone()
print row['somecolumnname']

The downside of this is that pyPgSQL takes a BIG performance hit 
because of all the, possibly unnecessary, dictionary assignments before 
it returns the values. Search the db-sig archives for a performance 
matrix I posted.
