    <blockquote> <p>So why should I bother to learn this difficult, yet exceptionally powerful, language? I can do 95% of my business with python et al. With the remaining 5%, I can deal with plain old C++ or C without hassle.</p> </blockquote> <p>Well, for the most part you answer your own question. There is no need for you to keep up with the bleeding edge of C++ at this time.</p> <p>However, the language will keep marching on. In a few years, some of the concepts you consider a bleeding-edge waste of time today will be in common use. Someday you may find during your 5% of using "plain-old C++" that some example code or code you're collaborating on uses a construct you're not familiar with. At that point, you'll need to hit the net and brush up on the new "current" C++.</p> <p>Is that going to be a problem? Of course not. You're a programmer. You keep abreast of the latest programming concepts in the context of your 95% language, which also changes over time. You will likely already be quite familiar with the concepts and need only familiarize yourself with its C++ syntax when the time comes that you must use them.</p> <p>Personally I hope to continue keeping up with C++, even if my career moves more toward Java or another next-gen language. Why? I would like to say because it interests me the most and because I love the complexity and expressiveness of it all. More likely, though, is just because it was my first professional language; I consider it my "native tongue". </p> <p>If it does not interest you, and does not concern your job or future job, don't bother. What's wrong with that? Nothing.</p>

    1. COThis is exactly my point. I see C++ as my "native tongue" as well, because as with you, it is my first language. I don't want to quit with it, but the price too pay is high. Is it too high? I haven't decided yet..

    2. COI still read, debug, and hack C++ on a daily basis, so my perspective is not the best to help you answer that question.

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.
