    <p>I have a Java project which will include a number of large SQL statements for querying the database. My question is: where should I store them?</p> <p>I'm fairly sure I want each statement its own text file managed by source code control. As Java doesn't support multi-line strings I can't easily put the SQL in my <code>.java</code> files and I don't think I'd want to anyway. At build time I can put these text files in JAR and get the contents with <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/ClassLoader.html#getResourceAsStream%28java.lang.String%29" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream()</code></a>.</p> <p>So my problem becomes in which directories should I put these files and what should I call them. Ideally I'd like people to tell from the <code>.sql</code> file which Java class uses it. What I definitely don't want is a single directory full of lots of files called things like <code>report1.sql</code> and <code>report3.sql</code> and so on.</p> <p>My inclination is to put them in the package directory with all the <code>.java</code> files but I have a colleague who doesn't like having anything other than <code>.java</code> files in this tree. So this leads to alternative of a separate directory structure which mirrors the Java packages but this seems like an unnecessary overhead. </p> <p>So I would be interested to hear what you do with your SQL files.</p> <p>We're using Netbeans 6.5 in case that will affect your answers.</p> <p>(<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/576571/where-do-you-put-sql-statements-in-your-c-projects">This question</a> is similar but sadly the answers are very C# specific, which is good for that question but bad for me.)</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.
