Internally, row references are very similar to cursors, in fact they are little more than a wrapper around them. The essential difference is one of semantics: comparing row references compares contents, copying row references copies the contents, whereas cursor comparison and copying deals with the pointer to the row, not its contents.

c4_View Container () const;

Return the underlying container view

c4_Cursor _cursor;

c4_RowRef (c4_Cursor);

Constructor, not for general use

c4_Cursor operator& () const;

Return the cursor associated to this row

c4_RowRef operator= (const c4_RowRef& row_);

Assign the value of another row to this one
