    1. COIf you are editing, you want to use `UPDATE` instead of `INSERT`. http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_update.asp

    2. COThe `mysql_*` functions are **no longer maintained** and shouldn't be used in any new codebase. It is being phased out in favor of newer APIs. Instead you should use [**prepared statements**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLinqtCfhKY) with either [PDO](http://php.net/pdo) or [MySQLi](http://php.net/mysqli). Also, **stay the hell away from w3schools**.

    3. COThanks for the heads-up Teresko. I have gotten it to update only when using the update query with the physical 'idnumber', dont know where I am going wrong but seems people like to depreciate so I'd rather leave it at that

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

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