In fact, the question is kind of mistaken. It's so easy to add features to Lisp that it's <em>better</em> to have a core language without many features. That way, people can customize their language to perfectly fit their needs.</p> <p>Of course, some implementations package the core Lisp with a bunch of these features as libraries. At least for Scheme, <a href="http://www.plt-scheme.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PLT Scheme</a> provides all of the above features*, mostly as libraries. I don't know of an equivalent for Common Lisp, but there may be one.</p> <p>*Maybe not infix syntax? I'm not sure, I never looked for it.</p>

    1. COI'm pretty sure I've seen Common Lisp libraries for at least 3 of these. :-)

    2. COThis is misleading because "standards" don't mean much here... To make it proper it should be clarified that the biggest advantage of lisp (and scheme) is its ability to change and adapt -- and gain many of these features. For example, PLT Scheme is a lisp/scheme dialect and it has each and every one of these features.

    3. CO@Ken: Yes, I've implemented a good number of these things badly, myself. Are they features of the language? No. They're libraries. @Eli: I will try to find a way to clarify this--it's a good point because the OP's question is kind of mistaken.

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).
