---------------

      A result object has an attribute for each column in results row.
      However, result objects do not have any methods, just
      attributes.

         This Class is tied to a SQL-Method returning just one row per call.

         Is it possible to use this feature with SQL-Methods returning multiple rows ?

         This would be nice - e.g. for filtering query results in the Class, reducing pollution of the container
         folder by dozens of SQL-Methods.

         /A result object has an attribute for each column in results row./
         is this correct english? i dont understand. maybe you mean
         /A result object has in each of its results rows attributes for each table column./
         AFAIK, its not an attribute, but a dictionary key. OTOH, getattr is redefined. very foggy here...
