    <p><code>Collection</code> is an interface that specifies a group of objects known as <em>elements</em>. The details of how the group of elements is maintained is left up to the concrete implementations of <code>Collection</code>. For example, some <code>Collection</code> implementations like <code>List</code> allow duplicate elements whereas other implementations like <code>Set</code> don't. A lot of the <code>Collection</code> implementations have a public <code>clone</code> method. However, it does't really make sense to include it in all implementations of <code>Collection</code>. This is because <code>Collection</code> is an abstract representation. What matters is the implementation. The semantics and the implications of either cloning or serializing come into play when dealing with the <em>actual</em> implementation; that is, the concrete implementation should decide how it should be cloned or serialized, or even <em>if</em> it can be cloned or serialized. In some cases, depending on what the actual backing-implementation is, cloning and serialization may not make much sense. So mandating cloning and serialization in <em>all</em> implementations is actually less flexible and more restrictive. The specific implementation should make the decision as to whether it can be cloned or serialized.</p> <p>Here's an <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/collections/designfaq.html#5">explanation</a> from Oracle's documentation:</p> <blockquote> <p>Many Collection implementations (including all of the ones provided by the JDK) will have a public clone method, but it would be mistake to require it of all Collections. For example, what does it mean to clone a Collection that's backed by a terabyte SQL database? Should the method call cause the company to requisition a new disk farm? Similar arguments hold for serializable.</p> <p>If the client doesn't know the actual type of a Collection, it's much more flexible and less error prone to have the client decide what type of Collection is desired, create an empty Collection of this type, and use the addAll method to copy the elements of the original collection into the new one.</p> </blockquote>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
