I agree. I too thought this was a standard practice. In the few cases where I need a set of rows, I do one of two things depending on what's the most intuitive in the problem-domain. For simple sets, I just implement a class method that returns an array of objects instead of just one. For more complex collections (e.g. where I need to perform operations on the set as a whole) I create a database-aware container class. -- Milo Hyson CyberLife Labs, LLC
