there are actually lots of ways, but the bigger "issue" is what your 
function/logic needs:
- accessing row attributes with "dot notation" as in row.column_name ?
- using update_record(), delete_record() ?
- having "reference columns" lazy-evaluating the referenced table/row ?
- display a sqltable when doing {{=rows}} in the view
- etc etc etc
