    1. CO9.0949470177293E-13 is a **VERY** small difference. Have you tried using === to compare the 2 numbers?

    3. COFloating point calculations are inexact (lossy). Just because they print out alike does not mean they are actually identical in their binary representation (which is what `==` however tests for).

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.
