    <p>I'm working on a project where a bunch of software (C++/OO) is being ported to a new hardware environment. A certain percentage of the software modules should be subjectively similar on the new hardware platform.</p> <p>A code review for some of these modules has shown that the port done is been done with a minimal effort or insight - the developers doing the work are inexperienced, as often happens with porting. However it has also shown that the design of the software is lacking - either over-complicated, handles error conditions badly or just has a bunch of 'code smells'.</p> <p>I have asked that instead of reviewing code after the port has been 'done', we review the design first. However, I am told that this might not be a good use of time, probably because the existing documented designs are not up to date.</p> <p>Am I barking up the wrong tree? Is a design process inherently slow? Is there a way to avoid getting bogged down in the full design process. Or is hands on code always the best way to sort things out - even with inexperienced coders?</p> <p><strong>Update. Thanks for the answers so far. Yes the s/w will be used in many (hopefully) future products/revisions. Also I didn't mention that the code is going to be multi-threaded too (previously a single threaded environment). This alone maybe good enough to indicate "review the design" I would like to proactively (yuck) see if a process of design review can be put into porting. I'm distrustful of just hoping to fix something up when it stops working - if something is found in testing to be fundamentally broken I'd rather not redesign come defect fixing time.</strong></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.
