    <p>I was just curious about the differences of using vectors of variables vs a vector of pointers with dynamic memory, and I've found something that confused me. I have a simple main.cpp that looks like this,</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt; #include &lt;vector&gt; using namespace std; class A { public: A() { x = 2;} virtual ~A() { cout &lt;&lt; "I'm a dead A\n";} public: int x; }; class B : public A { public: B() {x = 4;} ~B() { cout &lt;&lt; "I'm a dead B\n";} }; class C : public A { public: C() { x = 6;} ~C() { cout &lt;&lt; "I'm a dead C\n";} }; int main() { cout &lt;&lt; "Starting variable list\n"; std::vector&lt;A&gt; list; list.push_back( B() ); list.push_back( A() ); list.push_back( B() ); list.push_back( C() ); list.push_back( A() ); for(std::vector&lt;A&gt;::iterator it = list.begin(); it != list.end(); it++) { cout &lt;&lt; it-&gt;x &lt;&lt; endl; } cout &lt;&lt; "\n\nStarting pointer list\n"; std::vector&lt;A *&gt; ptrList; ptrList.push_back( new B()); ptrList.push_back( new A()); ptrList.push_back( new B()); ptrList.push_back( new C()); ptrList.push_back( new A()); for(std::vector&lt;A *&gt;::iterator it = ptrList.begin(); it != ptrList.end(); it++) { cout &lt;&lt; (*it)-&gt;x &lt;&lt; endl; } for(std::vector&lt;A *&gt;::iterator it = ptrList.begin(); it != ptrList.end(); it++) { delete *it; } system("PAUSE"); return 0; } </code></pre> <p>And I get a printout that looks like this:</p> <pre><code>Starting variable list I'm a dead B I'm a dead A I'm a dead A I'm a dead A I'm a dead A I'm a dead A I'm a dead B I'm a dead A I'm a dead A I'm a dead A I'm a dead A I'm a dead C I'm a dead A I'm a dead A I'm a dead A I'm a dead A I'm a dead A I'm a dead A 4 2 4 6 2 Starting pointer list 4 2 4 6 2 I'm a dead B I'm a dead A I'm a dead A I'm a dead B I'm a dead A I'm a dead C I'm a dead A I'm a dead A Press any key to continue . . . </code></pre> <p>What and why did all those destructions occurr in the normal variable list?</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.
