(string)(Optional) Any of ARRAY_A | ARRAY_N | OBJECT | OBJECT_K constants. With one of the first three, return an array of rows indexed from 0 by SQL result row number. Each row is an associative array (column => value, ...), a numerically indexed array (0 => value, ...), or an object ( ->column = value ), respectively. With OBJECT_K, return an associative array of row objects keyed by the value of each row's first column's value. Duplicate keys are discarded.
