    <p>I would disagree on the "majority" part. I don't know what sites you are looking at, but I would imagine Windows-based sites probably don't have a majority market share, although I suppose that's possible. Also I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "e-commerce". Do you mean, say, the Amazon website? B2B solutions? </p> <p>Both Windows and Linux are stable platforms for large enterprise-class applications. In most cases companies choose technology stacks that reflect their in-house expertise, or go with an OTS (off the shelf) solution provided by a vendor that chose the stack based on the same criteria.</p> <p>Running an application on Windows is inherently more expensive than Linux - assuming support and maintenance costs are equeal between the two, you still have to pay for licenses. Running an instance of SQL Server accessed by an internet-facing application is also expensive. However, many companies don't necessarily look at those upfront costs as determining whether or not the platform is viable. If you're running a site that handles $100M in revenue per year, $200K of licensing costs is peanuts. Again, generally it comes down to the expertise and experience of the people writing and operating the application.</p> <p>Also, if you're running a RedHat-based server solution with a support contract with Oracle for the Java bits you're also paying through the nose, even though you're using Open Source software.</p> <p>So I don't think Java or PHP-based applications have a distinct advantage over .NET-based application or viceversa; rather, pick the technology you know and have experience in. It doesn't matter if you saved a ton of money picking a LAMP stack if your expertise is Java and you're going to end up with an application that is unstable and/or insecure because you didn't know what you were doing.</p>

    1. COMy reason for saying "majority" is based on my own findings from large e-commerce sites that I can think of: Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Borders, etc. More B2C type sites. However, if my findings do not represent the majority, then I can accept that. However, I think of languages in terms of tools; you want to find and pick the best tool for the job. Thinks like wide-spread usage, security, available extensions, etc. come to mind as reasons why one type of language may be better than another. Also, just because a language *can* do something, doesn't make it the *best* at something.

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.
