Body
I need to create a view which will query a few specified tables and return a view table with one row. Table must be formed with column with table names and one row must be returned with values True/False depending on the table have rows or not. For example, I have four tables: <pre><code>Medication / Patient / User / Appointment </code></pre> I need to check them tables if they have rows or not and return a view table with one row and columns like that. <pre><code>Medication | Patient | User | Appointment True | False | False| True </code></pre>

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.
