    <p>I'm new to Macs/MySQL, and am struggling to get MySQL working. I'm on 64-bit Lion, and first attempted to install the 32-bit MySQL from the command line. I then attempted to remove it and replace it with the 64-bit DMG, but the results of mysql -V indicate the 32-bit may still be around in some form. I get 2002 errors when trying to run MySQL-related commands, but Python's MySQLdb works fine. Below is more information; please let me know how to get this working. </p> <p>I'm aware that some sort of linking is usually used to resolve the problem, but I can't find an answer that fits my file structure. I will try to be very responsive to asks for more information.

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.
