    <p>I have to ask: why is JavaScript the right tool for the job? Why not use a scripting language intended to be used this way, such as Python, Ruby, Lua, ... etc? </p> <p>If you are using Microsoft's JScript (and it sounds like you are), look to the MSDN web site for help. The page <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/72bd815a%28VS.80%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> looks fairly good. <a href="http://www.google.com/search?&amp;q=site%3Amsdn.microsoft.com+jscript" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Google</a> can also help with that. </p> <p>Assuming you don't mind using Java, you could also use the Mozilla <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Rhino</a> shell. But it doesn't look like there is a standard way of reading from the console in JavaScript. (presumably since this is not something typically required in a JavaScript application...) The <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Rhino_Shell" rel="nofollow noreferrer">built in JavaScript functions in the shell</a> seem fairly basic, but you <em>can</em> read a file.</p> <p>There area also <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/examples.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">examples</a> of using Rhino, which may be helpful. You can interface with the Java API to do whatever else you need to do. </p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I wrote this answer a long time ago; today I would use <a href="https://nodejs.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">node.js</a>. See their <a href="https://nodejs.org/en/get-involved/#learning" rel="nofollow noreferrer">learning</a> page.</p>

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

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