I was just surprised when accidentally selecting a non-existent name
column there was no error -- instead something came back.

select accounts.name from accounts limit 1 ->
(1,65522,1,0.00,,"2010-07-22 09:57:26.281172-05",2)

It appears it tries to return the entire row in an array (but longer
rows get truncated).

I've searched Google and the PG docs but I haven't had any luck.
