    <p>Technically, you don't <em>need</em> a framework. If you're making a really really simple site (think of the web back in 1992), you can just do it all with hard-coded HTML and some CSS.</p> <p>And if you want to make a modern webapp, you don't actually <em>need</em> to use a framework for that, either.</p> <p>You can instead choose to write all of the logic you need yourself, every time. You can write your own data-persistence/storage layer, or - if you're too busy - just write custom SQL for every single database access. You can write your own authentication and session handling layers. And your own template rending logic. And your own exception-handling logic. And your own security functions. And your own unit test framework to make sure it all works fine. And your own... [goes on for quite a long time]</p> <p><strong>Then again, if you <em>do</em> use a framework</strong>, you'll be able to benefit from the good, usually peer-reviewed and very well tested work of dozens if not hundreds of other developers, who may well be better than you. You'll get to build what you want rapidly, without having to spend time building or worrying too much about the infrastructure items listed above.</p> <p>You can get more done in less time, and know that the framework code you're using or extending is very likely to be done better than you doing it all yourself.</p> <p>And the cost of this? Investing some time learning the framework. But - as virtually every web dev out there will attest - it's definitely worth the time spent learning to get massive (really, massive) benefits from using whatever framework you choose.</p>

    1. COWhy not put that energy into contributing to an open-source framework, rather than lashing up your own stuff? 'Alone, we can move rocks; together we can move mountains' and all that

    2. CO@Jefffrey "Then how will you learn? How will you grow up as a programmer?" Learn however you want, but if you intend to work for a real client, you should provide the best possible solution in the shortest amount of time. YOUR "probably buggy" code isn't acceptable for that.

    3. CO@Cmorales, if you want to learn a programming language or any domain specific problem you are surely not going to have any "real" client (and you'll possibly have a lot of time in your hand) and *that* is why I suggest newbies not to start from frameworks.

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).
