It doesn't work this way. It's not an array, it's an ordered hash sorted based on the compareWith setting for the CF. For this reason, you cannot do what you are suggesting and tell what is what. Assuming UTF8Type for comparisons, username 'vineet' and password 'foo' in your model is {'foo':'foo', 'vineet':'vineet'}, while username 'adam' and password 'xylophone' is {'adam':'adam', 'xylophone':'xylophone'}. Or is that username 'xylophone' with password 'adam'? You could play games with prepending strings to distinguish things, or you could just use column names and indices properly and skip all this complexity. b
