Why does an array hash throw out duplicate values? I have a database of objects (34 in total) and of the 7 or 8 different keys, 6 are the same with the other two being unique. When I place these keys into an array hash by querying the database and pulling from the database records it tosses out duplicates. I want to keep them.
