Body
Very General rule from my experience with Yii and massive databases: Use Yii Active Record when: <ol> <li>You want to retrieve and post single to a few rows in the database (e.g. user changing his/her settings, updating users balance, adding a vote, getting a count of users online, getting the number of posts under a topic, checking if a model exists)</li> <li>You want to rapidly design a hierarchical model structure between your tables, (e.g. $user->info->email,$user->settings->currency) allowing you to quickly adjust displayed currency/settings per use.</li> </ol> Stay away from Yii Active Record when: <ol> <li>You want to update several 100 records at a time. (too much overhead for the model) <pre><code>Yii::app()->db->command() </code></pre> allows you to avoid the heavy objects and retrieves data in simple arrays.</li> <li>You want to do advanced joins and queries that involve multiple tables.</li> <li>Any batch job!! (e.g. checking a payments table to see which customers are overdue on their payments, updating database values etc.)</li> </ol> I love Yii Active Record, but I interchange between the Active Record Model and plain SQL (using Yii::app()->db) based on the requirement in the application. At the end I have the option whether I want to update a single users currency <pre><code>$user->info->currency = 'USD'; $user->info->save(); </code></pre> or if I want to update all users currencies: <pre><code>Yii::app()->db->command('UPDATE ..... SET Currency="USD" where ...'); </code></pre>

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.
