It is an interface that can be used to deliver structured data within
a database to a client application object as a collection of
attributes.
There is an alternate model that uses input and output streams to
transport the row data structure that the server knows about, to a
client class that also knows, through a provider that doesn't. Both
work in reverse also.
By now, I'm pretty sure these don't exist.
Also looking for something like a set and bag. I. e., an unordered
collection of similiar objects. Unordered in the sense that you can
not get an item at a particular position nor can you add a new object
at a position.
