Is there a way to fetch associative array grouped by the values of a specified column with PDO?

Question

For example, let\'s use some simple data set

+---------+------+------+------------+
| name    | age  | sex  | position   |
+---------+------+------+---------

Not sure why no one has posted the following solution, but it works perfectly for me:

PDO::FETCH_UNIQUE | PDO::FETCH_ASSOC

So, changing your statement to:

$pdo->query('SELECT * FROM employee')->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_UNIQUE|PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

should be exactly what you want.
