I am not sure what you have in mind when you say that there are forms that are better than
row/colum. Really a table can be thought of as a container that holds specific entities(rows)
each entity is defined by its attributes(colums). However, I would argue that idea of
"row/column" is closer to a spreadsheet rather than a table. Tables are distinctly different from
a spreadsheet.
