    1. COtry to place your query code inner try-catch, so you can track the exception

    2. COI know that this is just an example from a tutorial, but please know that taking data directly from $_POST and putting it into a SQL query is very dangerous - it's trivial for a real-world user to abuse this and read, alter or delete your database. It's OK for learning but NEVER do this in any application that is open to the public.

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
