Body
Lets say I have a query UPDATE foo.bar SET crop=5 WHERE soil='brown' I would write this as so: <pre><code>UPDATE foo.bar SET crop = 5 WHERE soil = 'brown' </code></pre> I write queries in this format to make them more readable in my code. However, this is being transfered between a web server and a DB server, so I assume that the wasted space will take up some bandwidth and have some slowdown in transfer. Assuming I am writing much larger queries, ones that take 20+ lines, is this inefficient to the point of not being worth it?

Guidance

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.
