Hi Dmytro
I misread your question; sorry. You clearly know the difference betwreen
a row/record and array.
The only approach I can think of is
=> select * from (values (1,2)) x (a,b);
a | b
---+---
1 | 2
or this works suprisingly well
=> create type e_test as (x integer, y integer);
CREATE TYPE
=> select (1, 2)::e_test;
row
-------
(1,2)
(1 row)
=> select to_json((1, 2)::e_test);
to_json
---------------
{"x":1,"y":2}
(1 row)
In [54]: c.execute('select to_json((1, 2)::e_test);')
In [55]: r = c.fetchone()
In [56]: r
Out[56]: Record(to_json={u'y': 2, u'x': 1})
