What we thought about when saying "row/col api" was what we now
call "updateable recordsets" (see my mail on that topic) with
the extension of even creating a recordset without SQL.
An API that does things like "open table customer and give me
fields name, city and the language text that you look up in
the language code table"

If some of you know Delphi, just think of it's TTable object.
