    <p>I am using Apple's <code>CoreDataBooks</code> sample application as a basis for pulling data into a secondary managed object context in the background, and then merging that data into the primary managed object context.</p> <p>The data I am pulling in is a <code>Book</code> entity with a to-one relationship with an <code>Owner</code> entity (called "owner"). The <code>Owner</code> entity has a to-many relationship with the <code>Book</code> (called "books").</p> <p>My data is an XML document of the form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Owner&gt; &lt;Name&gt;alexpreynolds&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;ID&gt;123456&lt;/ID&gt; &lt;/Owner&gt; &lt;Books&gt; &lt;Book&gt;Book One&lt;/Book&gt; &lt;Book&gt;Book Two&lt;/Book&gt; ... &lt;Book&gt;Book N&lt;/Book&gt; &lt;/Books&gt; </code></pre> <p><code>Book One</code> through <code>Book N</code> are associated with one <code>Owner</code> (<code>"alexpreynolds, 123456"</code>).</p> <p>I am parsing this into an <code>Owner</code> instance and an <code>NSMutableSet</code> made up of <code>Book</code> instances.</p> <p>When I attempt to save the first time, it saves fine and the merged data shows up in the table view.</p> <p>On the second save, however, when the XML content contains a new book, it doesn't work.</p> <p>Here's what happens:</p> <p>I then attempt to load in an XML document that contains a new <code>Book</code> not already in the primary managed object context. The new <code>Book</code> is using the same <code>Owner</code> as that which is associated with the other <code>Book</code>s.</p> <p>I have routines that pick out this unique <code>Owner</code> managed object (which I already have in my primary managed object context) and the unique <code>Book</code> that is <em>not</em> found in the primary MOC.</p> <p>From this, I create a new <code>Book</code> object in the secondary MOC, and I set its "<code>owner</code>" relationship to point to the unique <code>Owner</code> I found in the primary MOC.</p> <p>When I save, I get the following error:</p> <pre><code>*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Illegal attempt to establish a relationship 'owner' between objects in different contexts (source = &lt;Book: 0x7803590&gt; (entity: Book; id: 0x7802ae0 &lt;x-coredata:/// Book/t527F06B2-3EB5-47CF-9A29-985B0D3758862&gt; ; data: { creationDate = 2009-10-12 06:01:53 -0700; name = nil; nameInitial = nil; operations = ( ); owner = nil; type = 0; }) , destination = &lt;Owner: 0x78020a0&gt; (entity: Owner; id: 0x3a56f80 &lt;x-coredata://043AF2F0-1AD0- 4078-A5E8-E9D7071D67D1/Owner/p1&gt; ; data: { books = "&lt;relationship fault: 0x7801bf0 'books'&gt;"; displayName = alexpreynolds; ownerID = 123456; }))' </code></pre> <p>How do I create a new <code>Book</code> entity in the secondary MOC, so that I can still associate it with a pre-existing <code>Owner</code> in the primary MOC?</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.
