public interface Tuple

Tuples are objects representing a row of a data table, providing a simplified interface to table data. They maintain a pointer to a corresponding row in a table. When rows are deleted, any live Tuples for that row become invalidated, and any further attempts to access or set data with that Tuple will result in an exception.
