    <p>Speaking generally, I think you should do both. Any private data you collect is simply a liability for you, and not just because you intend to publish your databases. The less you can collect, the better.</p> <p>By the same token, however, you probably realize that it is not just IDs and passwords which are sensitive. Remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL_search_data_scandal" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the AOL search data leak</a>? Or the Netflix database publication? Even without having IDs, <a href="http://www.securityfocus.com/news/11497" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="Researchers reverse Netflix anonymization">people managed to figure out the real identities</a> of some of the accounts, simply by piecing together trails of user behavior, and corresponding that with data from other places. Some people are embarrassed by their search histories and their movie rentals. Go figure.</p> <p>Therefore, I think the general rule should be to collect as little as possible, and anonymize what is left. Even if you don't store the identity of the person corresponding to a certain account, you may want to scramble what the various logins did.</p> <p>On the other hand, there some cases where you simply don't care about this kind of privacy. In Wikipedia, for example, pretty much everything you can do on the site is public anyway. At least, everything which gets recorded in the database. If the information is already available through the API, there is no point in hiding it in a database download.</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.

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).
