Body
We have a websites with hundreds of visitors every day and tens of thousands queries a day. So, some tables in the database are updated very rarely, some tables are updated few times a minute and some tables are updated ~10 times a seconds. MyISAM uses table-level locking for updates and InnoDb uses row-level locking. So, as I understand, for tables with frequent concurrent updates (several updates per second) it is better to make them InnoDb, and for other tables (if we don't need transactions and foreign keys of course) it is ok to be with MyISAM engine. Am I right in my thoughts?

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.
