    <p>Sharding is almost replication's antithesis, though they are orthogonal concepts and work well together.</p> <p>Sharding, also known as partitioning, is splitting the data up by key; While replication, also know as mirroring, is to copy all data.</p> <p>Sharding is useful to increase performance, reducing the hit and memory load on any one resource. Replication is useful for high availability of reads. If you read from multiple replicas, you will also reduce the hit rate on all resources, but the memory requirement for all resources remains the same. It should be noted that, while you can write to a slave, replication is master->slave only. So you cannot scale writes this way.</p> <p>Suppose you have the following tuples: [1:Apple], [2:Banana], [3:Cherry], [4:Durian] and we have two machines A and B. With Sharding, we might store keys 2,4 on machine A; and keys 1,3 on machine B. With Replication, we store keys 1,2,3,4 on machine A and 1,2,3,4 on machine B.</p> <p>Sharding is typically implemented by performing a consistent hash upon the key. The above example was implemented with the following hash function h(x){return x%2==0?A:B}.</p> <p>To combine the concepts, We might replicate each shard. In the above cases, all of the data (2,4) of machine A could be replicated on machine C and all of the data (1,3) of machine B could be replicated on machine D.</p> <p>Any key-value store (of which Redis is only one example) supports sharding, though certain cross-key functions will no longer work. Redis supports replication out of the box.</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.
