    <p>Superficially the behavior of these method might look similar - <code>acquire()/await()</code> can make threads block in some cirsumstances and <code>release()/signal()</code> can unblock threads in some circumstances. However Semaphore and Condition serve different purposes:</p> <ul> <li><p><code>java.util.concurrent.Semaphore</code> is relatively higher-level synchronization mechanism, intended for use by general developers. You would use it typically to restrict concurrent access to some resource by making each requester thread call <code>acquire()</code> before accessing the resource (that way making the thread block if no semaphore permit was available). Description from the javadoc: </p> <blockquote> <p>Conceptually, a semaphore maintains a set of permits. Each acquire() blocks if necessary until a permit is available, and then takes it. Each release() adds a permit, potentially releasing a blocking acquirer.</p> </blockquote></li> <li><p><code>java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition</code> is relatively low-level synchronization mechanism which basically enhances functionality provided <code>java.lang.Object</code> methods <code>wait()</code>, <code>notify()</code> and <code>notifyAll()</code>. It enables the thread to suspend its activities when it needs to wait for some condition to become true (generally through activity of other threads) and then it enables those other threads to "wake up" the waiting thread(s) when the state variables taking part in the condition might have changed. It is generally harder to use correctly and general developers are advised to use higher-level mechanisms from package java.util.concurrent (like Semaphore).</p></li> </ul> <p>You can find more detailed information about this in the excellent book "Java Concurrency in Practice" from Brian Goetz.</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.
