In the example above there are two possible result mappings of to-many - each cell at index 1 can store either (1) a List<Painting> or (2) a Painting. Of course in the second case Artist name at index 0 will be repeated for each painting of a given Artist (so the result is flattened). In the proposed solution we throw in the first case and support the second. I'd like to hear opinions on the usefulness of either of the cases, and maybe some real life examples. Andrus
