+Result format
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The composition of the expressions in the SELECT clause also
+influences the nature of the query result. There are three
+cases:
+
+**All objects**
+
+.. code-block:: sql
+
+    SELECT u, p, n FROM Users u...
+
+In this case, the result will be an array of User objects because of
+the FROM clause, with children ``p`` and ``n`` hydrated because of
+their inclusion in the SELECT clause.
+
+**All scalars**
+
+.. code-block:: sql
+
+    SELECT u.name, u.address FROM Users u...
+
+In this case, the result will be an array of arrays.  In the example
+above, each element of the result array would be an array of the
+scalar name and address values. 
+
+You can select scalars from any entity in the query. 
+
+**Mixed**
+
+.. code-block:: sql
+
+    ``SELECT u, p.quantity FROM Users u...``
+
+Here, the result will again be an array of arrays, with each element
+being an array made up of a User object and the scalar value
+``p.quantity``.
+
+Multiple FROM clauses are allowed, which would cause the result
+array elements to cycle through the classes included in the
+multiple FROM clauses.
+
+.. note::
+
+    You cannot select other entities unless you also select the
+    root of the selection (which is the first entity in FROM).
+
+    For example, ``SELECT p,n FROM Users u...`` would be wrong because
+    ``u`` is not part of the SELECT
+
+    Doctrine throws an exception if you violate this constraint.
