Looks to me like you're getting each field of the UDT as a separate
column. You printed only the first column i.e. the 'street' part.

It might be informative to run with loglevel=2 and see how the server is
returning results. If the driver is reporting 6 columns, that means that
the server is reporting 6 fields in its RowDescription message.
