Description:
------------
Hi,

I was using the DB packages for retrieving data across more than 1 table. I notice that the fetchrow() function with the DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT or DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC parameter overwrites the data on previous linked table which had the same field name.

e.g
Assume that I had 2 table namely Manager & Client with the following fields. Notice that the fieldname (ManagerID, Name & Age) are same across the 2 table:

[Manager] ManagerID, Name, Dept, Age
[Client] ManagerID, ClientID, Name, Age

When I use the following query using limitQuery() and use fetchrow() with DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT or DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC:

Select * from Manager,Client where Manager.ManagerID = Client.ManagerID

The return results are
([ManagerID] =>1
[Name]=>ClientName
[Dept]=>Dept
[Age]=>ClientAge
[ClientID]=>ClientID)

I would actually expect the return result to be
([Manager.ManagerID] =>1
[Manager.Name]=>ManagerName
[Manager.Dept]=>ManagerDept
[Manager.Age]=>ManagerAge
[Client.ManagerID]=>ClientID)
[Client.ClientID]=>ClientID)
[Client.Name]=>ClientName)
[Client.Age]=>ClientAge)

DB_FETCHMODE_ORDERED return the results correctly

The version that I'm using is 1.6.4

Thanks and Regards
Ong
