ingres_fetch_assoc — Fetch a row of result into an associative array
$result
   )This function is stores the data fetched from a query executed using ingres_query() in an associative array, using the field names as keys.
With regard to speed, the function is identical to ingres_fetch_object(), and almost as quick as ingres_fetch_row() (the difference is insignificant).
By default, arrays created by ingres_fetch_assoc() start from position 1 and not 0 as with other DBMS extensions. The starting position can be adjusted to 0 using the configuration parameter ingres.array_index_start.

resultThe query result identifier
   Returns an associative array that corresponds to the fetched row,
   or FALSE if there are no more rows

$result = ingres_query($link,"select * from table");
while ($row = ingres_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo $row["user_id"];  // using associative array
    echo $row["fullname"];
}
