    <p>Some update after a year and a half after this question was asked:</p> <p>The first difference that comes to mind when comparing <a href="http://expressjs.com/">Express</a> to <a href="http://flatironjs.org/">Flatiron</a> is that Express is a server-side framework while Flatiron is advertised as being isomorphic, covering both the server side and the client side and as such should be suitable to develop traditional server-side applications, client-side single-page application and everything in between (much like eg. <a href="http://derbyjs.com/">Derby</a> or <a href="http://www.meteor.com/">Meteor</a>). However, I have failed to find any examples of client-side usage of Flatiron, and not for the lack of trying.</p> <p>There is <a href="https://github.com/flatiron/flatiron/issues/5">an issue on GitHub</a> to provide a simple TODO app example that's been open for over two years and (from what I understand reading the comments there) you cannot build a client-side app using Flatiron alone, without adding things like <a href="http://flatironjs.org/">jQuery</a>, <a href="http://backbonejs.org/">Backbone</a> etc. because the client-side aspect of Flatiron doesn't seem to be ready yet ("We are working on it. We still have a few more steps to go to make it completely isomorphic.") which seems like a real problem for a framework that tried to be isomorphic from the start. (See also a related TodoMVC issue: <a href="https://github.com/tastejs/todomvc/issues/74">Add FlatIron example</a>).</p> <p>The conclusion is that Flatiron is not ready yet. When it is ready it may cover much more areas of Web development than Express does, but it's really hard to tell when it might be, if a simple <a href="http://todomvc.com/architecture-examples/backbone/">TODO app example</a> couldn't have been provided for years.</p> <p>Meanwhile there are tons of Node frameworks and it's really hard to keep track of them so what I'd recommend doing now and in the future would be to see <a href="https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/modules#web-frameworks">the list of Web frameworks</a> on the Joyent/Node wiki on GitHub and compare them to the client-side frameworks on the <a href="http://todomvc.com/">TodoMVC</a> project - where those both lists intersect would be frameworks that cover both the server and the client and are capable of writing a simple TODO app in them - which hopefully will include Flatiron one day.</p>

    1. COThanks! Since this is much more through than the previous answer, I've accepted this as the correct one.

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.
