Think of it as a 3 dimensional box.

Hehe
Okay here is a example... not that you
would but you could.
If you think of a query as a two dimesonal array.
Query1(z)
Row1(y)
Col1(x)
Col2
Col3
Col4
Col5
Col6
Row2
Col1
Col2
Col3
Col4
Col5
Col6
Query2
Row1
Col1
Col2
Col3
Col4
Col5
Col6
Row2
Col1
Col2
Col3
Col4
Col5
Col6
As an array
arrJunk[1][1] = Row one column one
arrJunk[2][3] = Row two column three.. etc. etc.
Now say you want this single array to represent multiple
queries at once.
so arrJunk[1][2][4] = Query1, Row2, Column4
or arrJunk[2][2][4] = Query2, Row2, Column4
Now for say a four dimensional array... hehehe stay with me!!
Time: 8:00pm(eeek)
Query1(z)
Row1(y)
Col1(x)
Col2
Col3
Col4
Col5
Col6
Row2
Col1
Col2
Col3
Col4
Col5
Col6
Query2
Row1
Col1
Col2
Col3
Col4
Col5
Col6
Row2
Col1
Col2
Col3
Col4
Col5
Col6
Time: 9:00pm
Query1
Row1
Col1
Col2
Col3
Col4
Col5
Col6
Row2
Col1
Col2
Col3
Col4
Col5
Col6
Query2
Row1
Col1
Col2
Col3
Col4
Col5
Col6
Row2
Col1
Col2
Col3
Col4
Col5
Col6
So (this would be a bad way to represent your data...
but if you wanted too... you could....
Okay, so say you wanted 9pm Query2 Row2 Col5
arrJunk[2][2][2][5] = 9pm, query2, row2, column5
Hehe, so yes the practical applications of this kind
of thing are few and far between but there are some very
valid representations such as mapping out objects
in 3D space (of course you wouldnt really use an
array then.. but anyways) it does have
uses... but if you end up with a 3D array you most
likely do not need it.
Anyhow... I hope I did not hurt anyones head.
