    <p>Models (at least those descending from ActiveRecord::Base) require a database, so if you are using a model you are using a database, even if its a simple one like SQLite.</p> <p>If you don't want to descend into models and generating a migration to create the tables for your models, then you are probably just going to store the form values into instance variables and reference those in your view. Below is a quick example how to do that.</p> <p>If you have a form that sends data (ex: <code>name</code> and <code>email</code>) to a <code>create</code> action, the create action would look sort of like this:</p> <pre><code>def create @name = params[:name] @email = params[:email] render :my_template end </code></pre> <p>The <code>create</code> action above is assigning the params sent to it to instance variables, which you can then reference in your view. In the above example the <code>create</code> action is going to try and render a view called <code>my_template</code> which would probably be named <code>my_template.html.erb</code> and might look something like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;Your name is &lt;%= @name =&gt; and your email is &lt;%= @email =&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is an extremely small and contrived example, but hopefully this helps.</p> <p>When you move on to working with models your create action might instead create a new instance of a model, pass that model the params sent by the user, save the model, and then redirect them to a page that shows the data.</p>

Guidance
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.
