-All we have to do there is start the launcher itself. As the comment suggests, there might be work required for a “real” application startup. For this example, it is all we need to do. Of course, we could also directly embed this little function into the launcher implementation itself to save us one class.

 ===== Notes on the Launcher =====
-As you might have noticed, in our example the launcher is a (window) frame. That makes sense for nearly every desktop GUI toolkit as they all depend upon a window as main method to display their applications. But the launcher could also be simpler: for example, just a call to start the GUI thread. Or it could be something completely different: for example, an incoming HTTP request.

 Also, don’t forget that the launcher is providing additional functionality to the application, like saving file handles, reading and writing the configuration, and similar platform and toolkit-dependent operations.

+===== Row Definition =====
-The RowDefinition defines what columns are available in the row and stores some additional information about them, like the names of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_key|primary key]] columns. You can think of the RowDefinition as the headers of a table.

-Its creation and usage is rather simple, and if you’re working with RemoteDataBooks there is no need to create one at all, as it is automatically created when the DataBook is opened. A RowDefinition holds and manages ColumnDefinitions, which define the columns.
