    <p>I've written games in Java and .NET and never found this to be a big problem. I expect your "horror stories" are based on the garbage collectors of many years ago - the technology really has moved a long way since then.</p> <p>The only thing I would hesitate to use Java/.NET for on the the basis of garbage collection would be something like embedded programming with hard real time constraints (e.g. motion controllers).</p> <p>However you do need to be aware of GC pauses and all of the following can be helpful in minimising the risk of GC pauses:</p> <ul> <li>Minimise new object allocations - while object allocations are extremely fast in modern GC systems, they do contribute to future pauses so should be minimised. You can use techniques like pre-allocating arrays of objects, keeping object pools or using unboxed primitives.</li> <li>Use specialized low-latency libraries such as <a href="http://javolution.org/" rel="noreferrer">Javalution</a> for heavily used functions and data types. These are designed specifically for real-time / low latency application</li> <li>Make sure you are using the best GC algorithm when there are multiple versions available. I've heard good things about the <a href="http://developers.sun.com/learning/javaoneonline/j1sessn.jsp?sessn=TS-5419&amp;yr=2008&amp;track=javase" rel="noreferrer">Sun G1 Collector</a> for low latency applications. The best GC systems do most of their collections concurrently so that garbage collections do not have to "stop the world" for very long if at all.</li> <li>Tune the GC parameters appropriately. Usually there is a trade-off between overall performance and pause times, you may want to improve the latter at the expense of the former.</li> </ul> <p>If you're very rich, you can of course buy machines with <a href="http://www.azulsystems.com/" rel="noreferrer">hardware GC support</a>. :-)</p>

    2. COBe cautious about object pooling. Java and .Net use generational GC, and pooled objects will end up in the eldest generation. This can force more frequent full collections (as opposed to the shorter 'youngest generation only' collections).

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.
