    1. COCowboy Coding is definitely a great description for this type of development. It would be nice if an "xDD" acronym could be used for it, though. I'd also add that Cowboy Coder goes a bit extreme. I think there are many developers who still code before testing (if they ever get to testing), but are much less cavalier. Looking for a term that encapsulates that approach (since it is still so common) without pulling-out something as extreme as "the Cowboy."

    2. COThere's many levels of cowboy coding. I supposed you could call it CDD (Cowboy-Driven Development) or NDD (Non-Driven development). Although if you tell a fellow developer that someone is a cowboy coder, they'll understand you much better than any xDD you can come up with.

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.
