    <p>Beware of Compuware's bounds checker: It is stable up to a point. It costs about 3600 dollars, and about an equal amount to maintain from year to year. But that is peanuts compared to Coverity. I haven't gotten a good test run to work right under Bounds Checker for the last 3 years. That is why I don't use it anymore, and why I don't recommend you use it, except on small, tiny projects. On big enterprise apps, it's just too slow, takes up too memory, and simply stops working. I mean really, do you want your application to take 5 minutes to boot? Do you want your test executions to take 3 times longer? Worst of all, is it's tendency to just lock up. Customer support from Compuware was pretty limited. But bounds checker was sold to another company (can't remember their name) whose website is so aniceptic, sterilized and dry, it makes financial company websites look entertaining. But the killer problem with BoundsChecker is it is 32 bit only. So if you need to profile a large application that takes lots of memory (More than 1 Gig), you are simply out of luck. Bounds Checker will eat up 2 to 3 Gigs of memory from your app. And with 32 bit apps, you well know that 4 Gigs is the tops you get.</p> <p>Coverity is great if you hire a person to babysit it. Seriously Coverity costs more than my house. That's not to mention the person my company would have too hire to babysit the dang thing. It takes 24 hours to do it's magic. And it doesn't do all that much more magic than simply compiling your code at warning level 4, and turning on 'Code Analysis' (In visual studio).</p> <p>I've tried other memory leak tools (for native code). They all SUCK big time, are too complicated, or just plain old lock up the system. I'm so disgusted with the entire field of memory profilers, that I just want to go back to using the debug CRT. That or just write my own.</p> <p>As for code coverage tools, Bullseye wins hands down. Why can't a memory leak detector just work as solidly as bullseye?</p>

    2. COI also agree 1000%. Even with the support for 64 bit apps, BoundsChecker still locks up, takes 10 minutes to start my non-tiny app, and fails to actually find (even intentional!!!) memory leaks on occasion.

    3. COAnd I am only now coming to fully realize the disaster (for this product) that the Compuware acquisition of NuMega in 1997 was. Becoming part of a publicly traded company, all previously existing products were put on "maintenance", with lesser programmers doing the work, as the company tried to find ways to make something new (aka something nobody knows the warts of) to sell, leveraging the older technology where possible.

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.
