I'm doing a proof of concept thing here and having a bit more trouble than I thought I was going to. Here is what I want to do and how I am currently doing it. I am sending my Sinatra app a json file which contains the simple message below. <pre><code>[ { title: "A greeting!", message: "Hello from the Chairman of the Board" } ] </code></pre> From there I have a post which I am using to take the params and write them to sqlite database <pre><code>post '/note' do data = JSON.parse(params) #<---EDIT - added, now gives error. @note = Note.new :title => params[:title], :message => params[:message], :timestamp => (params[:timestamp] || Time.now) @note.save end </code></pre> When I send the message the timestamp and the id are saved to the database however the title and message are nil. What am I missing? Thanks Edit: Now when I run my app and send it the json file I get this error: C:/Users/Norm/ruby/Ruby192/lib/ruby/1.9.1/webrick/server.rb:183:in `block in start_thread' TypeError: can't convert Hash into String Edit 2: Some success. I have the above json in a file call test.json which is the way the json will be posted. In order to post the file I used HTTPClient: <pre><code>require 'httpclient' HTTPClient.post 'http://localhost:4567/note', [ :file => File.new('.\test.json') ] </code></pre> After thinking about it some more, I thought posting the file was the problem so I tried sending it a different way. The example below worked once I changed n my post /note handle to this: <pre><code>data = JSON.parse(request.body.read) </code></pre> My new send.rb <pre><code>require 'net/http' require 'rubygems' require 'json' @host = 'localhost' @port = '4567' @post_ws = "/note" @payload ={ "title" => "A greeting from...", "message" => "... Sinatra!" }.to_json def post req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(@post_ws, initheader = {'Content-Type' =>'application/json'}) #req.basic_auth @user, @pass req.body = @payload response = Net::HTTP.new(@host, @port).start {|http| http.request(req) } puts "Response #{response.code} #{response.message}: #{response.body}" end thepost = post puts thepost </code></pre> So I am getting closer. Thanks for all the help so far.

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.
