    <p>I have a switch statement in Java, on an Enum which let us call IMyInterface.MyEnum</p> <p>Each of my case statements has the form: IMyInterface.MyEnum.MyValue, (though I could drop the IMyInterface if I imported).</p> <p>However, the compiler (Java 6) throws an error: "The qualified case label IMyInterface.MyEnum.MyValue must be replaced with the unqalified enum constant MyValue".</p> <p>I can obviously do that, but for the life of me I don't understand what is the purpose of this error. Clearly, if the compiler can deal with the actual value, it should be able to deal with the fully qualified name just as it would for constants. In fact, I would have assumed that the compiler turns the constant into the fully qualified name.</p> <p>So, Java gurus, what's the rationale behind this? Thank 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.
