Getting mysql_query results into an array

Hey all, I read on php.net about resources, the type returned from mysql_query(), and was trying locate the best way to get the result set back from a query into an array. Is simply looping through the result set with mysql_fetch_assoc() the common way to do this? As great as PHP is with arrays I was wondering if there is some simply, more efficient way, but as yet have not located one.
