2. column column fetcher
3. columnExists column existance checker
4. fillColumn collumn data injector
5. removeColumn column remover
6. walkColumn column walker

Rows

1. appendRow row appender
2. countRows row counter
3. fillRow fillRow
4. removeRow row remover
5. row row fetcher
6. rowExists row existance checker
