Kaveen and I talked about this earlier today actually, the result (from *DB) for the two above queries is actually fine and parseable JSON. It's just a labeling issue as the result is shown as if it were 3 records rather than 3 lists. A more vexing question however that came up is what to do about multiple queries in one submission. Right now those come back as multiple JSON objects appended to each other apparently.
