# MDB_Common::queryAll()

MDB_Common::queryAll() -- fetch result set as a nested array

## Synopsis

    require_once 'MDB.php';

``array &queryAll` (string $query, array [$types = `NULL`], integer [$fetchmode = `MDB_FETCHMODE_DEFAULT`], boolean [$rekey = `FALSE`], boolean [$force_array = `FALSE`], boolean [$group = `FALSE`])`

## Description

Fetch the entire result set of a query and return it into a nested array. The function takes care of doing the query and freeing the results when finished.

## Parameter

string `$query`

  the SQL query

array `$types`

  if supplied, the types of the columns in the result set will be set for fetching

integer `$fetchmode`

  the fetch mode to use

boolean `$rekey`

  if set to `TRUE` the array result be modified as follows: If the result set contains more than two columns, the value will be an array of the values from column 2 to n. If the result set contains only two columns, the returned value will be a scalar with the value of the second column (unless forced to an array with the $force_array parameter).

boolean `$force_array`

  used only if the query returns exactly two columns. If `TRUE`, the values of the returned array will be one-element arrays instead of scalars.

boolean `boolean $group`

  if `TRUE`, the values of the returned array is wrapped in another array. If the same key value (in the first column) repeats itself, the values will be appended to this array instead of overwriting the existing values.

## Return value

`array` - an nested array or a MDB_Error, if fail.

## Throws

Table 33-1. Possible PEAR_Error values

Error code | Error message | Reason | Solution
--- | --- | --- | ---
`MDB_ERROR_NO_DB_SELECTED` | `NULL` | No database was choosen. | Check the DSN in connect() .
`MDB_ERROR_TRUNCATED` | `NULL` | The result set contains fewer then two columns | Check the SQL query or choose another query*() function
every other error code |  | Database specific error | Check the database related section of PHP-Manual to detect the reason for this error. In the most cases a misformed SQL statment. Ie. using LIMIT in a SQL-Statment for an Oracle database.
