    <p>When I execute the below python code I have written, (I am trying to create a user name based off three distinct scenarios (1.user enters First, middle, and last name, 2. user enters first and last name, 3. user enters only last name. I am attempting to create a username based off the first 4 characters of the last name+first initial (when provided)+middle initial(when provided). When I execute the below code, using the first+last name combination or just last name, I receive </p> <blockquote> <pre><code>lastName = (listnames[2]) IndexError: list index out of range </code></pre> </blockquote> <pre><code>def entirename(fullName): lowername = str.lower(fullName) delimiter =' ' listnames = (lowername.split(delimiter)) lastName = (listnames[2]) lname = lastName[0:4] fInit = listnames[0] fname = fInit[0] mInit = listnames [1] mname = mInit[0] username =lname+fname+mname return def firstlast(fullName): lowername = str.lower(fullName) delimiter =' ' listnames = (lowername.split(delimiter)) lstName = (listnames[1]) lname = lastName[0:4] fInit = listnames[0] fname = fInit[0] username = lname+fname return def last(fullName): lowername = str.lower(fullName) delimiter =' ' listnames = (lowername.split(delimiter)) lstName2 = (listnames[0]) lname = lstName2[0:4] username = lname return def main(): print "Hello! This program will contruct a new userid for you." print "" fullName = raw_input('Please enter your full name: ') while True: if fullName[2]: entirename(fullName) break elif fullname[1]: firstlast(fullName) break elif fullname[0]: last(fullName) break main() </code></pre>

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.
