    1. COThis has nothing to do with your question. Gems only get added to the load path after they have been required. The fact that you can't require the gem has nothing to do with it not being in the load path, it has to do with your RubyGems installation being broken in some way.

    2. COThe load path is a place where the paths to the libraries are reside. When your install a gem a path to it is added the the load path automatically. That is $: is incremented by 1 line. And then you can require or load that gem. That was before I updated my Ruby installation. But now that doesn't work and I don't know the reason. My question was about that.

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).
