I agree with moritz. But having had to produce what you are asking for, I use a counter to create the hash key when reading through your database return. You can create the unique key as part of your select by creating a row counter, but understand that the row counter will change based on the result of your search. You can also add a counter to the hash as part of your assignment to the hash.
Code to create a row counter in MySQL
SET @key := 0;
select @key := @key + 1, DataElementToSelect from Database.Table;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
