    <p>Do you remember the old "good" times when, to make an app, you basically used only one language? Well, that wasn't completely true, because you always has to squeeze some sql here and there, but basically 90% of the time your app was only one language. No matter if was Visual Basic, Delphi, PowerBuilder, or C++, what I like of desktop applications is precisely that: in my opinion, one bad abstractions is better that 5 good ones. Well, you could agree or not, but the truth is that, to make a web app, you need sql, php (or c#, or java, or ruby, or what ever other language), and javascript, and HTML and CSS. I will like to know if exists something that abstracts all of this languages and let create web app as desktop apps. Do you know any technology like that? more points if is open source and stable.</p>

    1. COWell the tone init is really judgemental and half of it is opinion (i.e. "one bad abstractions is better that 5 good ones"... and that's probably "wrong" anyway) so probably why people tried to close it... but I think it's a valid question although gratingly asked.

    2. CO" and that's probably "wrong" anyway".Why? One abstraction let you concentrate in one way of do things, so you could concentrate on solving the problem, not in the tools, instead of switch to 5 different way of thinking. For example, everything is an object is better that this is an object, but that is a function, and that is a query, and that is a table, and that is a procedure, etc

    3. COOne way does not mean "good way". It's much easier to just carry a hammer and treat everything as a nail. Monolithic stacks also evolve too slowly and the whole application will suffer. Also, there are many parts to modern web-apps and its good to have the felixiblity of the best tool for each job. Afterall, why not just use flat-files and half-reimplement a database for each project? Really, there is a reason the industry shifted away from what you are describing and in general consider it an anti-pattern. Plus, those are skills most of us should have anyway.

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.
