fastest way to retrieve data

hi,

is there a faster way to retrieve data from postgresql
using php aside from the conventional way of looping
through the number of records returned by pg_num_rows
then executing pg_fetch_row on each iteration? isn't it
possible to get the entire result set returned by pg_exec
and save that to a multi-dimensional array? this way
the program can disconnect from the db and just get
the data from the multi-dimensional array. this would also
shorten the number of requests to postgresql.

would appreaciate any suggestions. thanks!

regards,
