    <p>This is a FAQ here and the received wisdom is that you can't do anything. This makes sense if you think about it as ultimately there is nothing you can do to stop someone reading what their computer is doing. If your computer is going to run code, it must be in a computer-acceptable format which means that no matter how you try to hide it, it can be decoded and displayed as in order for your computer to understand it, it must meet certain inviolable standards which are published and well known. </p> <p>You can make if difficult for people who would not know what to do with the code anyway, but anyone who could use your code will be able to get it if they want to.</p> <p>Is your stuff so remarkable and innovative that you really think it is worth stealing? For instance, it took me almost 10 minutes to work out how Google did it's nifty suggest thing and another 20 to replicate it. By SO standards that is extremely slow. I use the idea along with almost everyone else but I have never seen their code and it would be boring if they showed it. </p> <p>Why not just bind users with a non-reverse-engineering contract? This, after all is how MS protects its IP. Windows is easy enough to copy if you want to. MS makes it worth paying for their product by providing updates only to licenced users. Perhaps you could do the same.</p> <p>Ask yourself if it is REALLY necessary to have the code hosted locally. When did the internet last fail you? 3 years ago I experienced a major earthquake. No power, water or sewage for 2 weeks but the internet both wired and mobile kept working. My computer didn't as I had no power but 3g was just fine. The infrastructure is incredibly robust and there is really very little need for local data duplication. My experience has been that anything that knocks out the internet more than transiently is more than likely going to knock out any local solution too.</p> <p>Finally, if your clients want a locally hosted solution, ask yourself if they are worth the trouble. The best way to help them to mature is to let them see what they are missing.</p> <p>Caveat - I do actually duplicate some data on some local systems but this is a useful feature of backup - I allow clients a view of the backed up data in the event of catastrophic internet failure, but I don't allow them to modify the locally held data as it negates the 'one true record' principle which is why we use the cloud in the first place.</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.
