It is, but you can really only use that to select data based on a
column name and row number.  Typically, if I were to convert a query
to a struct and then use that struct, the key of the struct might be
something like the PK of the data, such as userID.  This means you
could look up a value in the struct like this:

#myStruct[variables.userID].firstName#

If you leave your resultset as a query, you cannot look up an
individual row without knowing it's row number.  Which makes "it's a
struct of arrays" pretty useless if all you know is the user's ID.
