Body
Use <code>template</code>s and generic programming wherever possible. Don't rely on any types if you don't have to! If you have a function that takes a number and returns it multiplied by 2, write it like this: <pre><code>template <typename Number> inline Number doubleNum(Number n) { return 2*n; } </code></pre> Or even this: <pre><code>template <typename RetType, typename NumberType> inline RetType doubleNum(NumberType n) { return 2*n; } </code></pre> This way, if you have a library that uses <code>int</code>s, <code>double</code>s, <code>uint64_t</code>s - you name it - you can work with it, without rewriting your code. If you need to work with binary files or network programming, you can work with fixed-size types, without rewriting your code. And if you need arbitrary precision numbers, you can work with a class which implements the same interface as a primitive integer or float type via operator overloading, such as a GMP wrapper, without rewriting your code. And you can specialize templated functions or classes, to optimize specific cases or work with classes (or C <code>struct</code>s) that don't conform to the relevant interface: <pre><code>/* * optimization: * primitive integers can be bit-shifted left to * achieve multiplication by powers of 2 * (note that any decent compiler will do this * for you, behind the hood.) */ template <> inline int doubleNum<int>(int n) { return n<<1; } /* * optimization: * use assembly code */ template <> inline int32_t doubleNum<int32_t>(int32_t n) { asm { ... } } /* * work with awkward number class */ template <> inline AwkwardNumber doubleNum<AwkwardNumber>(AwkwardNumber n) { n.multiplyBy(2); return n; } </code></pre>

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.
