    <p>I'm rearranging the namespaces of code in relatively large C++ project. One difficulty I keep running into is that global operator overloads become inaccessible sometimes. Things like stream operators (&lt;&lt; and >>) and equality operators (==), Sometimes the only changes that cause this is moving from say "namespaceA" to "parent::namespaceA". Namespace "parent" already exists.</p> <p>I can fix these by explicitly adding:</p> <pre><code>using ::operator&lt;&lt;; using ::operator&gt;&gt;; using ::operator==; </code></pre> <p>in the affected files (from "namespaceA"), although I was somewhat surprised to see this work.</p> <p>But this feels like I'm just masking a deeper problem somewhere.</p> <p>So my question is this: <strong>What situations would you expect the masking/hiding of global operators to occur?</strong></p> <p>Note: I suspected it might be the nested namespaces prevent Koenig Lookup doing its thing, but making some test cases showed this wasn't the issues. Another potentially salient point is that the overloaded global operators affected seem to all be templated functions. However, I'm interested in better understanding how the global namespace operators somehow disappear... all answers appreciated.</p> <p>Clearly it's something to do with the parent namespace, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for. I can understand an operator being overloaded again so that the wrong version is called, but I'm getting compile errors that can't even find the operators with the right signature!</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.
