Could you expand on some benefits of seeing your data as "rows" rather than "objects"? I'm not clear on what that means in practice.

They have operations that objects do not, such as joins and projections. It's a completely different paradigm for dealing dealing with data.
You can take an "object", pick parts of that, take a few parts of another related "object", perform some manipulations on those selected "fields" and view that grab bag that as though it was a whole new "object". There is really nothing like that in OOP.
