    <p><em>Disclaimer</em>: I <strong>do not</strong> work for Plastic SCM! :P</p> <p>Well, I'm using Plastic SCM in my company and at home with my personal projects (for 1 year now) and as far as I can tell you, Plastic IS the <strong>BEST SCM</strong> too ever made by human kind! :) I already used the SVN, TFS, Source Safe (argh..) and a little of git, but very little.</p> <p>I'm a passionate Plastic user and I can say, to a single developer project or a team, you can rely on Plastic. Everything is done to work perfectly with Visual Studio. Even so, I prefer the Plastic GUI to manage my changes. I just find the Plastic GUI and Explorer Integration much better way to work. I came from a SVN client that had a lot of problem integrating with VS so I changed my way to use SCM tools. The VS plugin, the client and the Explorer Integration does everything that the client does. I just like much more the client.</p> <p>In Plastic, almost everything is done visually (what you can't do not do visually right now, Plastic's developers are working to develop the GUI to the task!) and very user-friendly. The <strong>Distributed Branch Explorer</strong> (DBrEx, for us users) is a <strong>sweeeeeet peace of code</strong>. </p> <p>The <strong>magnificent merge tool</strong> helps you to solve problems when merging branches and everything else. </p> <p>Another <strong>WONDERFUL</strong> feature is <strong>SPEED</strong>. Hell yeah, Plastic is <strong>FAST</strong>! (Pablo, I didn't find the URL to the benchmark against git on Códice Blog, can you add here? :))</p> <p>The Plastic forum is <strong>fast</strong> (when I mean fast, I really mean that. They normally ask my questions in a few hours after I post anything), <strong>reliable</strong>, precise and they help you in whatever you need help. Even if you (<em>like me</em>) are not a paying customer. Since I started using Plastic, they <strong>ALWAYS</strong> helped me whenever I needed. The contact with the Plastic developers is a wonderful feature. <strong>You're not dealing with some guy hired to route the problems to some developer you may never see or speak, you always we'll be dealing, asking questions, suggesting new features to the developers! It is amazing!</strong></p> <p>Plastic uses a multi-database back-end, so if you're working on Windows, you can stick with SQL Server CE or SQL Server Express or the paid SQL Server versions. You don't like SQL Server? You can still use MySQL, Oracle, Firebird, SQLite and PostgreSQL. The database back-end is easy to backup, with a few steps you can backup it daily.</p> <p>If you're working with a small team or big teams, you can use the integrated Code Review tool. It's pretty cool!</p> <p>You can integrate your development tasks to various Issue Management Systems (Jira, Version One, OnTime, Bugzilla, Mantis, Trac, RallyDev, DevTrack, FogBugz).</p> <p>You can use the Transparent SCM feature so you're able to detect changes outside Visual Studio or Eclipse.</p> <p>Well, I guess I can speak for hours and hours here... So, if you have any question about my experience using Plastic, just ask!</p> <p>I hope my testimonial helps you! :)</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.
