What are best possible way to represent a tabular data in flatbuffer

I have tabular data (header, data rows/columns). One can assume it to be in csv format for representation purpose.

There is header row as column labels, may not be in same sequence always. But for each label name datatype is known upfront
Number of columns are fixed, each column is different datatype
Number of rows are variable

I am new to Flatbuffers so want to know best possible way to represent tabular data in Flatbuffers.

Something like this:

table Row {
  col1:int;  // These can each be their own data type.
  col2:string;
  ..
  // Fixed number of columns.
}

table Root {
  rows:[Row];  // vector of rows, variable length.
}

root_type Root;

Note that in this case FlatBuffers' use of table is very different from a database table.
