rowMode = 'array' apparently provides no way of getting column names

[neilmiddleton]

We were experimenting with node-postgres and found that columns were lost in the result set if they had the same name, because of how JSON works.

However, after switching to array we don't apparently have any way of knowing the column names. Is there a way of doing this or is this a shortfall?

(for context, in this scenario, we don't know the query we're running)

It looks like result.fields should continue to work (an array of field descriptions with name properties).

Sorry, should have mentioned, I'm using cursor here. Given cursor.read(n) returns rows it's not clear how to also get column names.

Oofff yeh that might have been an oversight on my part. I'll leave this open so I can get to remedying this in some way in the near future.
