I always end up using lists rather than arrays, though a list can be thought
of as a 1-dimensional array. So I would use a list of structures rather
than an array of structures. I find Lists easier to create and maintain
than arrays.

just a fyi, although you can use array syntax to reference queries,
remember that queries are NOT arrays so you can't use the array
functions on them.

arrays are very useful for passing information without having to write
to the DB. think of use of an array of structures for a shopping cart.
