+ * Invokes block for each tuple in the result set in single row mode.
+ *
+ * This is a convenience method for retrieving all result tuples
+ * as they are transferred. It is an alternative to repeated calls of
+ * PG::Connection#get_result , but given that it avoids the overhead of
+ * wrapping each row into a dedicated result object, it delivers data in nearly
+ * the same speed as with ordinary results.
+ *
+ * The base result must be in status PGRES_SINGLE_TUPLE.
+ * It iterates over all tuples until the status changes to PGRES_TUPLES_OK.
+ * A PG::Error is raised for any errors from the server.
+ *
+ * Row description data does not change while the iteration. All value retrieval
+ * methods refer to only the current row. Result#ntuples returns +1+ while
+ * the iteration and +0+ after all tuples were yielded.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *   conn.send_query( "first SQL query; second SQL query" )
+ *   conn.set_single_row_mode
+ *   conn.get_result.stream_each do |row|
+ *     # do something with each received row of the first query
+ *   end
+ *   conn.get_result.stream_each do |row|
+ *     # do something with each received row of the second query
+ *   end
+ *   conn.get_result  # => nil   (no more results)
