    <p>Instead of the Java object that you would use to wait/notify, you need two objects: a mutex and a condition variable. These are initialized with <code>pthread_mutex_init</code> and <code>pthread_cond_init</code>.</p> <p>Where you would have synchronized on the Java object, use <code>pthread_mutex_lock</code> and <code>pthread_mutex_unlock</code> (note that in C you have to pair these yourself manually). If you don't need to wait/notify, just lock/unlock, then you don't need the condition variable, just the mutex. Bear in mind that mutexes are not necessarily "recursive", This means that if you're already holding the lock, you can't take it again unless you set the init flag to say you want that behaviour.</p> <p>Where you would have called <code>java.lang.Object.wait</code>, call <code>pthread_cond_wait</code> or <code>pthread_cond_timedwait</code>.</p> <p>Where you would have called <code>java.lang.Object.notify</code>, call <code>pthread_cond_signal</code>.</p> <p>Where you would have called <code>java.lang.Object.notifyAll</code>, call <code>pthread_cond_broadcast</code>.</p> <p>As in Java, spurious wakeups are possible from the wait functions, so you need some condition which is set before the call to signal, and checked after the call to wait, and you need to call <code>pthread_cond_wait</code> in a loop. As in Java, the mutex is released while you're waiting.</p> <p>Unlike Java, where you can't call <code>notify</code> unless you hold the monitor, you <em>can</em> actually call <code>pthread_cond_signal</code> without holding the mutex. It normally doesn't gain you anything, though, and is often a really bad idea (because normally you want to lock - set condition - signal - unlock). So it's best just to ignore it and treat it like Java.</p> <p>There's not really much more to it, the basic pattern is the same as Java, and not by coincidence. Do read the documentation for all those functions, though, because there are various flags and funny behaviours that you want to know about and/or avoid.</p> <p>In C++ you can do a bit better than just using the pthreads API. You should at least apply RAII to the mutex lock/unlock, but depending what C++ libraries you can use, you might be better off using a more C++-ish wrapper for the pthreads functions.</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.
