Just FYI: The proposed <a href="http://download.java.net/jdk8/docs/api/java/util/Optional.html">JDK8 Optional</a> class does satisfy the three <a href="http://learnyouahaskell.com/a-fistful-of-monads#monad-laws">Monad laws</a>. Here's a <a href="https://gist.github.com/ms-tg/7420496#file-jdk8_optional_monad_laws-java">gist demonstrating</a> that. All it takes be a Monad is to provide two functions which conform to three laws. The two functions: <ol> <li>Place a value into monadic context <ul> <li>Haskell's Maybe: <code>return</code> / <code>Just</code></li> <li>Scala's Option: <code>Some</code></li> <li>Functional Java's Option: <code>Option.some</code></li> <li>JDK8's Optional: <code>Optional.of</code></li> </ul></li> <li>Apply a function in monadic context <ul> <li>Haskell's Maybe: <code>>>=</code> (aka <code>bind</code>)</li> <li>Scala's Option: <code>flatMap</code></li> <li>Functional Java's Option: <code>flatMap</code></li> <li>JDK8's Optional: <code>flatMap</code></li> </ul></li> </ol> Please see the <a href="https://gist.github.com/ms-tg/7420496#file-jdk8_optional_monad_laws-java">above gist</a> for a java demonstration of the three laws. NOTE: One of the key things to understand is the signature of the function to apply in monadic context: it takes the raw value type, and returns the monadic type. In other words, if you have an instance of <code>Optional<Integer></code>, the functions you can pass to its <code>flatMap</code> method will have the signature <code>(Integer) -> Optional</code>, where <code>U</code> is a value type which does not have to be <code>Integer</code>, for example <code>String</code>: <pre><code>Optional<Integer> maybeInteger = Optional.of(1); // Function that takes Integer and returns Optional<Integer> Optional<Integer> maybePlusOne = maybeInteger.flatMap(n -> Optional.of(n + 1)); // Function that takes Integer and returns Optional<String> Optional<String> maybeString = maybePlusOne.flatMap(n -> Optional.of(n.toString)); </code></pre> You don't need any sort of Monad Interface to code this way, or to think this way. In Scala, you don't code to a Monad Interface (unless you are using Scalaz library...). It appears that JDK8 will empower Java folks to use this style of chained monadic computations as well. Hope this is helpful! Update: Blogged about this <a href="https://devblog.timgroup.com/2013/11/11/does-jdk8s-optional-class-satisfy-the-monad-laws-yes-it-does/">here</a>.

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.
