The structure is a hash of hashes. Thanks
to:
   nkuipers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
   Robin Cragg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
   Timothy Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

who correctly pointed this also to me. They
also provided some information on how to add
items to the array, and an easier way to 
populate the hash. I was using an anonymous
hash method.

Thanks Again

 A strange question.

 I'm using the following data structure to
store information from a data base query:

$tablename{"$table"} = {
                "table_name"    => ["$table"],
                "index_name"    => ["$index_name"],
                "columns"       => ["@column_name"],
                "type"          => ["$index_type"],
                "tablespace"    => ["$tablespace_name"]

 This works great and I can later extract the info
from this structure. I have 2 questions. What type of
structure is this and how do I add to it?

 When I try to add more info from a subsequent query like
this:

$tablename{$table} = {
                "con_name"      =>  ["$constraint_name"],
                "con_type"      =>  ["$type"],
                "rem_con_name"  =>  ["$r_constraint_name"],
                "created_by"    =>  ["$generated"]
            };

 I lose all the previous information, so that only the above
is now stored.
 What have I done, how do I do what I want, and am I in over my head?
