    <blockquote> <p>my understanding is that the == operator would just compare the addresses of the first two elements</p> </blockquote> <p>This is correct: if you compare two arrays using <code>==</code>, it will compare the addresses of the arrays, so it will only yield <code>true</code> if you compare an array with itself (or with a pointer to an element of the same type). See the description below for why.</p> <blockquote> <p>the = operator, when used like array1 = array2; would just cause array1 to point to the same memory location as array2 does.</p> </blockquote> <p>This is not correct because <strong>an array is not a pointer</strong>. <code>array1</code> can't point to the same memory location as <code>array2</code> because <code>array1</code> isn't a pointer, it's an array of elements.</p> <p>An array is a sequence of elements. In most contexts, the name of an array is implicitly converted to a pointer to its initial element. This is why you can do things like:</p> <pre><code>void f(int*); int data[10]; int* p = data; // this is the same as 'int* p = &amp;data[0];' f(data); // this is the same as 'f(&amp;data[0]);' </code></pre> <p><code>array1 = array2;</code> won't work because arrays are not assignable (mostly for historical reasons; I've never heard a convincing technical reason why it isn't allowed: it was never allowed in C, and C has been around for decades. There's some discussion of this in the comments and answers to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3437110/why-does-c-support-memberwise-assignment-of-arrays-within-structs-but-not-gene">Why does C support memberwise assignment of arrays within structs but not generally?</a>).</p> <p>The following program will not compile:</p> <pre><code>int main() { int a[10], b[10]; a = b; } </code></pre> <p>For an "assignable" array, you can use the <code>array</code> container-like class found in Boost (<code>boost::array</code>), C++ TR1 (<code>std::tr1::array</code>), or C++0x (<code>std::array</code>). It is actually a class that contains an array; it can be copied and it provides many of the benefits of the Standard Library containers plus the performance characteristics of an array and the ability to use its data as an array when you need to.</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.
