Short answer: Use glMapBufferRange and only update the subrange that needs modification. Long answer: The trick is to map the already existing buffer with glMapBufferRange, and then only map the range you need. Given these assumptions: <ul> <li>Your geometry uses per-vertex animation morphing</li> <li>The vertex count for models is constant during animation.</li> </ul> Then you can use glMapBufferRange to update only the changing parts, and leave the rest of the data alone. Full uploads using glBufferData are slow as a turtle, because they delete the old memory store and allocates a new one. That's in addition to uploading the new data. glMapBufferRange only lets you read/write existing data, it does no allocation or deallocation. However, if you use skeleton animation, rather pass vertex transformations as 4x4 matrices per-vertex to the vertex shader, and do the calculations there. Per-vertex data is of course specified with glVertexAttribPointer. Also, remember that you can read texture data in the vertex shader, and that OpenGL 3.1 introduced some new instance draw calls; glDrawArraysInstanced and glDrawElementsInstanced. Those combined can be used for instance-specific lookups. I.e you can do instance draw calls with the same geometry data bound, but send positions or whatever per-vertex data you need as textures or texture-arrays. This can save you from mixing and matching different vertex array data sets. Imagine if you want to render 100 instances of the same model, but with different positions or color schemes. Or even texture maps.

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.
