    <p>First of all: why is Operation.StatusID of type Text, when it's filled with values from integer field? The same may be asked about RegionID, but as Region table is not listed here I can't tell, maybe you need Text in that particular case. But having Operation.StatusID as Text is totally unjustified and will give you performance penalty.</p> <p>Nevertheless, there is an old trick, called pivoting but it will work only for a fixed number of columns, in your case - Surveys:</p> <pre><code>SELECT Sample.BuildingID, MAX(Sample.BuildingName_EN) BuildingID, MAX(CASE WHEN Operation.SurveyTypeID=1 THEN Operation.StatusID ELSE " " END) AS Survey1, MAX(CASE WHEN Operation.SurveyTypeID=2 THEN Operation.StatusID ELSE " " END) AS Survey2, MAX(CASE WHEN Operation.SurveyTypeID=3 THEN Operation.StatusID ELSE " " END) AS Survey3 FROM Sample,Operation WHERE Operation.SampleID=Sample.ID GROUP BY Sample.BuildingID </code></pre> <p>Update: To ensure expandability of this solution, you will have to generate this query each time before use with another one:</p> <pre><code>SELECT ' SELECT Sample.BuildingID,MAX(Sample.BuildingName_EN) BuildingID,' UNION ALL SELECT concat(' MAX(CASE WHEN Operation.SurveyTypeID=',SurveyType.ID,' THEN Operation.StatusID ELSE " " END) AS "',SurveyType.LongName,'",') from SurveyType UNION ALL SELECT '0 as dummy FROM Sample,Operation WHERE Operation.SampleID=Sample.ID GROUP BY Sample.BuildingID' </code></pre> <p>Or, for Oracle and SQLite:</p> <pre><code>SELECT ' SELECT Sample.BuildingID,MAX(Sample.BuildingName_EN) BuildingID,' UNION ALL SELECT ' MAX(CASE WHEN Operation.SurveyTypeID='||SurveyType.I||' THEN Operation.StatusID ELSE " " END) AS "'||SurveyType.LongName||'",' from SurveyType UNION ALL SELECT '0 as dummy FROM Sample,Operation WHERE Operation.SampleID=Sample.ID GROUP BY Sample.BuildingID' </code></pre>

    2. COWell, unfortunately there is no non-programmatic way of doing this in pure SQL. I will update an answer with an workaround.

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.
