    <p>Put simply, <code>.</code> is function composition, just like in math:</p> <pre><code>f (g x) = (f . g) x </code></pre> <p>In your case, you are creating a new function, <code>sumEuler</code> that could also be defined like this:</p> <pre><code>sumEuler x = sum (map euler (mkList x)) </code></pre> <p>The style in your example is called "point-free" style -- the arguments to the function are omitted. This makes for clearer code in many cases. (It can be hard to grok the first time you see it, but you will get used to it after a while. It is a common Haskell idiom.)</p> <p>If you are still confused, it may help to relate <code>.</code> to something like a UNIX pipe. If <code>f</code>'s output becomes <code>g</code>'s input, whose output becomes <code>h</code>'s input, you'd write that on the command-line like <code>f &lt; x | g | h</code>. In Haskell, <code>.</code> works like the UNIX <code>|</code>, but "backwards" -- <code>h . g . f $ x</code>. I find this notation to be quite helpful when, say, processing a list. Instead of some unwieldy construction like <code>map (\x -&gt; x * 2 + 10) [1..10]</code>, you could just write <code>(+10) . (*2) &lt;$&gt; [1..10]</code>. (And, if you want to only apply that function to a single value; it's <code>(+10) . (*2) $ 10</code>. Consistent!)</p> <p>The Haskell wiki has a good article with some more detail: <a href="http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Pointfree" rel="noreferrer">http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Pointfree</a></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.
