The <a href="http://www.config4star.org" rel="noreferrer">Config4*</a> project (disclaimer: I am its primary developer) does not have an out-of-the-box integration with .Net or WCF, so it is probably not useful to you. However, one of the features in Config4* is relevant to your question: it is the ability to embed if-then-else statements in a configuration file, so that the file can "adapt" itself for different environments (such as development, testing, acceptance and production). You may be able to modify that concept to work with whatever configuration syntax you are using in your .Net/WCF-based project (I'm not familiar with those technologies, but I'm guessing they probably use XML-based configuration files). In particular, you could write a script using, say, Python, that uses if-then-else statements to set environment-specific name=value pairs in a <code>map</code>, and then use some <code>print</code> statements to generate a set of configuration files tailored for an environment. A pseudo-code outline of such a script is: <pre><code>#-------- # Set up configuration variables suitable for a specified environment #-------- cfg["variable1"] = "default value"; cfg["variable2"] = "another default value"; if (environment == "testing") { cfg["variable1"] = "override default value for this environment"; cfg["variable3"] = "value suitable for this environment"; ... } else if (environment == "production") { ... } #-------- # Now use print statements to generate configuration files # Alternatively, use the _name=value_ pairs in the map to # perform global search-and-replace on template versions of # configuration files. #-------- ... </code></pre> For bonus points, the script could also generate a checklist of tests that need to be performed for the environment, for example, "Check if a firewall port needs to be opened between the following endpoints: ..."

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.
