    <p>By fetching a Google place one gets the following results back: <a href="https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/details" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/details</a></p> <p>Since I later need to update a saved place in my database it would be nice if Google Places would offer an unique and static identifier. I thought I might could use "id" or "reference" for that, unfortunately they are not static and can and do change all the time:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>id</strong> contains a unique stable identifier denoting this place. This identifier may not be used to retrieve information about this place, but can be used to consolidate data about this Place, and to verify the identity of a Place across separate searches. As ids can occasionally change, it's recommended that the stored id for a Place be compared with the id returned in later Details requests for the same Place, and updated if necessary.</p> </blockquote> <p>So ID cannot be used if I understand the last sentence correctly.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>reference</strong> contains a token that can be used to query the Details service in future. This token may differ from the reference used in the request to the Details service. It is recommended that stored references for Places be regularly updated. Although this token uniquely identifies the Place, the converse is not true: a Place may have many valid reference tokens.</p> </blockquote> <p>Saving the reference key would allow one to always find the place, but the reference key on a query is never the same. It changes with every query.</p> <p>I'm really not sure how to solve this. Any ideas?</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.
