 * the values that were previously the current values will become the row's

 * original values (the values the row had immediately before it was modified).

 * If a row has not been modified, its original values are its initial values.

 * <P>

 * Subclasses of this class contain more specific details, such as

 * the conditions under which an exception is thrown or the bounds for
