Body
I have a database driven website serving about 50,000 pages. I want to track each webpage/record hit. I will do this by creating logs, and then batch processing the logs once a day. I am not concerned with how I will do the batch process, only with the quickest way to log. How would you log, which do you think is quicker: a) Use PHP to append to the end of a text log file. b) Use MySQL to INSERT INTO a non-indexed log table.

Guidance

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.
