Um, you're right; there's no interface to PGcmdTuples in pg_result.
Perhaps there should be. But the short-term answer is to use pg_execute
instead of pg_exec. See
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/pgtcl-pgexecute.html
(this unaccountably escaped being documented before 7.3, but it's
been there since 7.1 or so).
