Doug,

Thanks VERY much for all these details. They go a long way towards filling out the concepts of this thing in my mind.

One additional question... In the "Data Access Management using CursorAdapters" section is the statement:
"Interaction with the TABLEUPDATE( ) and TABLEREVERT( ) Functions
The TABLEUPDATE( ) function recognizes and can work with CursorAdapter objects. TABLEUPDATE( ) delegates its operations to the cursor adapter associated with the cursor.
".

What does the phrase "...delegates its operations..." mean?

Thanks again Doug.
