    <p>I have a data acquisition application broken into a client and a server.</p> <p>The <strong>server</strong> is reponsible for grabbing data from the hardware, running some realtime analysis, and recording the data to disk when it's asked.</p> <p>The <strong>client</strong> is a GUI that the operator can use to look at some pretty graphs (generated by the server), set some parameters, and turn recording on and off. It's usually run on the same machine as the server, but can be run from any other machine on the network.</p> <p>Both are written in Qt (C++). Both are used on Linux.</p> <p>The communication between the two is currently done with a homegrown library (in C++, but not Qt) that is essentially a hash table. The server has a list of parameters, like <code>analysis.graph.width</code>, and those parameters can be <strong>set</strong> and <strong>get</strong> by both the server and client(s).</p> <p>The system is being redesigned to support new hardware, and now is a good time to replace this library if something better exists. Here are some requirements:</p> <ul> <li>Ideally would play well with Qt (using QVariant to store values, using signals/slots)</li> <li>Must allow values to be many different types (integers, strings, doubles, bools, lists of those)</li> <li>Keys will be strings</li> <li>Must be fast, allowing set/get operations up to 30 times per second</li> <li>Must allow multiple clients to set/get parameters simultaneously</li> </ul> <p>I found this list: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_storage" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_storage</a>, but the libraries listed there seem too complex (distributed, mirrored) or not cabable enough (values can only be strings).</p> <p>Is anyone aware of libraries that would fit some or all of the requirements?</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.
