For some uses, a Query (2-dimensinal array) better represents the
data structure or the process you need to perform.
Examples of data structures suited to queries/arrays
spreadsheets
record sets (maybe from another program via WDDX)
Import/export delimited text files
Examples where processes are suited to queries/arrays
iterative process rather than content-specific, e.g. List all employees
phone numbers, as opposed to "What is Bill's Number?".
build a dropdowm menu or selectbox
upload a delimited file and prime a database
harvest all the links from another web page
harvest the results from a search engine
Distribute/syndicate database content with WDDX
