// <etymology>
// StManColumn handles a column for a storage manager.
// </etymology>

// <synopsis> 
// StManColumn is the old storage manager base class which has been replaced
// by StManColumnBase.
// However, the class still exists for backward compatibility for external storage
// managers (such as LofarStMan) that do not derive from StManColumnBase yet.
// It also maps the new get/put functions taking a rownr_t to the old
// functions taking a uInt rownr.
// </synopsis> 

// <motivation>
// Provide backward compatibility for external storage managers.
// </motivation>

// <todo asof="$DATE:$">
//# A List of bugs, limitations, extensions or planned refinements.
