    <p>I have an Event database loaded into Core Data that has duplicate Event titles. This has been made so the database can provide unique information for each day of the event. Eg fluctuations in pricing on each date. </p> <p>I now need to remove the duplicate event titles from a list that will be displayed as table view with NSFetchRequest and NSPredicate to provide the filter. But all the examples I've seen require a none dynamic key value to be used as a target for the predicate filter. eg below NSDate provides the time now as a key filter and it works.</p> <p>Currently NSString * title targets a value in the events ManagedObject class that returns a nil value. Here is a snip from the FetchResultsController.</p> <pre><code>- (NSFetchedResultsController *)fetchedResultsController { if (fetchedResultsController == nil) { NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[[NSFetchRequest alloc] init] autorelease]; NSPredicate *predicate = [[[NSPredicate alloc] init] autorelease]; [fetchRequest setReturnsObjectsAsFaults:NO]; [fetchRequest setEntity:[NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Event" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext]]; NSArray *sortDescriptors = nil; NSString *sectionNameKeyPath = nil; NSDate *date = [NSDate date]; NSString *title = [events title]; if ([fetchSectioningControl selectedSegmentIndex] == 1) { predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"(closeDate &gt;= %@) AND (title == %@)", date, title ]; sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[[[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"category.name" ascending:YES] autorelease], [[[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"openDate" ascending:YES] autorelease], nil]; sectionNameKeyPath = @"category.name"; } else if ([fetchSectioningControl selectedSegmentIndex] == 0){ predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"closeDate &gt;= %@", date]; sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[[[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"openDate" ascending:YES selector:@selector(compare:)] autorelease]]; sectionNameKeyPath = @"day"; } [fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate]; [fetchRequest setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors]; fetchedResultsController = [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:fetchRequest managedObjectContext:managedObjectContext sectionNameKeyPath:sectionNameKeyPath cacheName:@"EventsCache"]; } return fetchedResultsController; } </code></pre>

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.
