If a fixed length column is deleted the offset_F field will contain the offsets
of the original row definition. Thus if the number of columns on the row does
not match the number in the tdef, the offset_F field could be used to return
the proper data. Columns are never really deleted in the row data. The deleted column will forever exist and be set to null for new rows.

flexible.
