    <p>I'm trying to follow the <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CoreData/Articles/cdImporting.html" rel="nofollow">steps found here</a> on comparing two arrays, and knowing when to create a new object, but I just don't understand how it works:</p> <blockquote> <p>You end up with two sorted arrays—one with the employee IDs passed into the fetch request, and one with the managed objects that matched them. To process them, you walk the sorted lists following these steps:</p> </blockquote> <pre><code>Get the next ID and Employee. If the ID doesn't match the Employee ID, create a new Employee for that ID. Get the next Employee: if the IDs match, move to the next ID and Employee. </code></pre> <blockquote> <p>Regardless of how many IDs you pass in, you only execute a single fetch, and the rest is just walking the result set.</p> </blockquote> <p>Basically what's happening is I have an array of object ids from an external source, and the client system only has a subset of the objects represented by these ids. I need to figure out which objects I already have, and if I don't have them, create them, one by one.</p> <p>I don't understand how this works. I'm having trouble translating this to code:</p> <pre><code>for (int i =0;i&lt;ids.count;i++) { currentId = [ids objectAtIndex:i]; currentObject = [objects objectAtIndex:i]; if(currentObject.id != currentId) { //create new object } //"get the next employee" //uh what? nextEmployee = [objects objectAtIndex:i+1]; //? if(nextEmployee.id == currentId) { //"move on to the next id" continue; } } </code></pre> <p>I don't see how that would work? What am I missing?</p>

    2. COI'm just not understanding how to map it into code. I'm pretty sure my implementation above is incorrect, no? I just don't understand how the whole algorithm works..

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.
