I would like to rephrase that question.

Can you tell me an example of a situation when the column position really
matters given

1) You can specify column order in sql select statement
2) most basic interface to postgresql, libpq supports search on a result tuple
by field number or field name?

If the client library you are using does not support this, you can hack it.
Libpq supports it for sure.

I have been deleting all mails on this thread and really wonder what was in
there in all those mail. IMO the thread is not worth living this long but I may
be wrong, given I haven't read all those mails..

Bye
