HASH(0x8d9fb0)
HASH(0x8d9fe0)
HASH(0x8da010)
HASH(0x8da040)
HASH(0x8da070)
HASH(0x8da0a0)
HASH(0x8da0d0)

before it was displaying: 
ARRAY(0x6fa930)

now it is displaying a hash. To elaborate I am trying to get
data back from database it's a simple query which returns 
mysql> select count(*) from bugs where product_id = 19 and component_i
+d = 271 and bug_status='RESOLVED';
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|     2957 |
+----------+
