Instead, you could consider having your wrapper throw an assertion if someone doesn't bind all parameters. Asserting if someone doesn't consume all result columns is a little more dubious, because you'd probably need an API call to explicitly ignore a column, but I'd not consider such an assertion insane, either. For either case using indices leads to kind of brittle code in any case, regardless of whether it's 0-based or 1-based. -scott
