Body
I have an idea of an application that involves a "chat feature", basically an ability for people to chat with each other. Since sending messages through a server would be slow (plus it would be pretty bad having to check the server every second if you have new messages) I want to use sockets to have peer to peer chat ability instead of going through a server. My 2 questions: 1) Is socket programming the most optimal way to develop a chat program? I know there is push notification service, but I don't think it can be used for a chat program too well. Going through a server seems kind of bad if you imagine 5,000 people chatting and having to poll the server every second. 2) Will Apple have issues approving an app that has peer to peer chat program that uses sockets? Thank you.

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.
