Body
In Scala/Java (~ on the JVM), there are some smaller cases where behavior is different like: <pre><code>/* "Dynamic" cast */ "".getClass.cast("Foo") //res0: Any = Foo /* "Static" cast */ classOf[String].cast("Foo") //res1: String = Foo /* "Compile time cast" */ "Foo".asInstanceOf[String] res2: String = Foo </code></pre> In which languages is the gap between compile time and run time is bigger and are there reasons from a language design POV why this could be a "good thing"? Going towards the other direction: Is there a (statically typed) language without any differences between compile time and run time types?

Guidance

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.
