    1. COYes it seems logical on such a simple example. But in more complex examples I don't want the compiler to start auto generating new constructors just because it thinks its a good idea; that may lead to all sorts of unexpected auto conversions where I don't expect them.

    2. COBjarne Stroustrop says ([link](http://www2.research.att.com/~bs/C++0xFAQ.html#inheriting)), "In C++98, we can 'lift' a set of overloaded functions from a base class into a derived class... I have said that 'Little more than a historical accident prevents using this to work for a constructor as well as for an ordinary member function.' C++0x provides that facility..." He is referring to the `using` statement, e.g., `using Parent::Parent;`, but I wonder if the lack of constructor inheritance in general is also due to arbitrary historical reasons.

    3. COYes C++0x has provided some extra functionality. But it is **not automatic** you need to **explicitly** indicate that you want it. What you want is everything automated and that is a **BAD** idea because it will lead to **auto type conversions** that you are not expecting. I believe it was considered (this is why C++0x allows you to import them with `using Parent::Parent;`), but your idea was rejected (but I don't have a quote).

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.
