    <p>I'd say if you're careful they can be secure. The biggest security hole would be the people using it. It will be unintentionally shared or posted somewhere Google will index it. Design for that, and use it appropriately - like the Google docs "Anyone with this link" sharing method.</p> <ol> <li><p>Use HTTPS</p> <p>Stops the URL being sent in plaintext</p> <p><a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-15.1.3" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Doesn't set referrer headers</a> if they click a HTTP link</p></li> <li><p>If people access your secret URL via HTTP, warn them and immediately change it</p></li> <li><p>It's <a href="http://docbug.com/blog/archives/000780.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">not security through obscurity</a> - that's a misunderstanding of the normal use of the phrase.</p> <blockquote> <p>"A system relying on security through obscurity may have theoretical or actual security vulnerabilities, but its owners or designers believe that the flaws are not known, and that attackers are unlikely to find them."</p> </blockquote> <p>In contrast here you're being open about implementation and design. </p> <p>I don't see that this is less secure than the average password when used with a long secret URL (64 characters anyone? <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/417142/what-is-the-maximum-length-of-a-url">2000 - domain_length</a>?), in combination with a tar-pit.</p></li> </ol> <p>I'm planning to use it in an app where I feel people will value simplicity above security.</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.
