    <p>Code generation is my business :-)</p> <p>Comments on a few options:</p> <ul> <li><p>CLR: </p> <ul> <li>Pro: industrial support</li> <li>Con: you have to buy into their type system pretty much completely; depending on what you want to do with types, this may not matter</li> <li>Con: Only Windows platform is really prime-time quality</li> </ul></li> <li><p>LLVM:</p> <ul> <li>Pro: enthusiastic user community with charismatic leader</li> <li>Pro: serious backing from Apple</li> <li>Pro: many interesting performance improvements</li> <li>Con: somewhat complex interface</li> <li>Con: history of holes in the engineering; as LLVM matures expect the holes in the engineering to be plugged by adding to the complexity of the interface</li> </ul></li> <li><p><a href="http://www.cminusminus.org/" rel="noreferrer">C--</a></p> <ul> <li>Pro: target is an actual written language, not an API; you can easily inspect, debug, and edit your C-- code</li> <li>Pro: design is reasonably mature and reasonably clean</li> <li>Pro: supports accurate garbage collection</li> <li>Pro: most users report it is very easy to use</li> <li>Con: very small development team</li> <li>Con: as of early 2009, supports only three hardware platforms (x86, PPC, ARM)</li> <li>Con: does not ship with a garbage collector</li> <li>Con: project has no future</li> </ul></li> <li><p>C as target language</p> <ul> <li>Pro: looks easy</li> <li>Con: nearly impossible to get decent performance</li> <li>Con: will drive you nuts in the long run; ask the long line of people who have tried to compile Haskell, ML, Modula-3, Scheme and more using this technique. At some point every one of these people gave up and built their own native code generator.</li> </ul></li> </ul> <p>Summary: <strong>anything except C</strong> is a reasonable choice. For the best combination of flexibility, quality, and expected longevity, I'd probably recommend LLVM.</p> <p>Full disclosure: I am affiliated with the C-- project.</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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
