    <p>I know there must be a generic method but I don't even know the term to search for and I don't want to re-invent the wheel, badly.</p> <p>'<strong>Separate components values</strong>' and '<strong>composite values</strong>' don't give good results.</p> <p><em>another example</em>: degrees+minutes+seconds from seconds of arc, or tons+pounds+ounces from ounces.</p> <p>I'm working in C but it shouldn't be <em>too</em> hard to translate from some other language.</p> <p>The inputs would be the basic value, say total inches= 9534567, and the unit divisions, like feet=12, yards=feet*3, miles=yards*1760. The output would be 150 miles, 849 yards, 0 feet and 3 inches.</p> <p>Surely this can be generalized to use some other set of unit divisions. And a whole library seems like overkill, doesn't it?</p>

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.
