    <p>A few weeks ago I asked the question <em>"Is a PHP, Python, PostgreSQL design suitable for a non-web business application?"</em> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/439759/is-a-php-python-postgresql-design-suitable-for-a-business-application">Is a PHP, Python, PostgreSQL design suitable for a business application?</a></p> <p>A lot of the answers recommended skipping the <strong>PHP</strong> piece and using <strong>Django</strong> to build the application. As I've explored Django, I've started to question one specific aspect of my goals and how Django comes into play for <strong>a non-web business application</strong>.</p> <p>Based on my understanding, Django would manage both the view and controller pieces and <strong>PostgreSQL</strong> or <strong>MySQL</strong> would handle the data. But my goal was to clearly separate the layers so that the database, domain logic, and presentation could each be changed without significantly affecting the others. It seems like I'm only separating the M from the VC layers with the Django solution.</p> <p>So, is it counterproductive for me to build the domain layer in <strong>Python</strong> with an <strong>SQL Alchemy/Elixir ORM tool</strong>, <strong>PostgreSQL</strong> for the database layer, and then still use <strong>Django</strong> or <strong>PHP</strong> for the presentation layer? Is this possible or pure insanity?</p> <p>Basically, I'd be looking at an architecture of <strong>Django/PHP > Python/SQLAlchemy > PostgreSQL/MySQL</strong>.</p> <p><em>Edit: Before the fanboys get mad at me for asking a question about Django, just realize: It's a question, not an accusation. If I knew the answer or had my own opinion, I wouldn't have asked!</em></p>

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.
