    1. COIf you want your company to remain in business, stop testing and developing against production IMMEDIATELY. It's not a question of "if", it's just a matter of "when" something will go horribly wrong and you lose valuable data. You need a development environment, period. The dev DB doesn't have to have all of the data from production, as long as it has the same schema and a reasonable sample set to work against.

    2. COIdeally, your development environment mimics production as much as possible. If this is not possible due to hardware constraints, you have 2 choices: (1) develop against production, or (2) trim a development database down until it meets hardware limitations. (1) is so evil it begs for solution (2), which would mean that performance testing will have to be carefully tested on the live servers. For non-altering queries, this can be fine, for queries that alter data... you'll have to chance it that the logic errors are filtered out in dev, and only performance can now be a problem.

    3. CO// I was told, is out of the question for a development database since there isn't an extra server to use.// That is insane. Look for a new job if the company is so fiscally "on the bubble" it cannot buy one server for development, non-production use.

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
