    <p>Ever strike up a conversation by asking "How <em>are</em> you?", only to be met with a litany of their troubles and triumphs, pet peeves and uninteresting interests, feelings of insecurity and maybe an in-depth review of the breakfast muffins...</p> <p>...that's <em>not</em> information hiding. Most of us don't do that. Kids do, at least until they first meet someone who uses all the irrelevant information they're sharing to hurt or humiliate them in some way... then, they learn to be secretive and paranoid, one more step on the road to adulthood. </p> <p>Most of us also learn to do the same sort of thing with the code we write, exposing just enough to get along with other code, but not so much as to allow it to become dependent on our implementation. This is somewhat more nuanced than simply not exposing internal data - merely placing accessor methods or property getters/setters between internal data and the cold outside world is no more information hiding than launching into a conversation about "this friend of mine" and "his" herpes problem...</p> <p>You arrive at the heart of the question when you start to differentiate between interface and implementation. When you expose properties because they match the view of the world your client code expects, rather than because they provide a convenient way for them to manipulate your implementation. It's rarely a clean divide, even when developing top-down, and contrived examples can easily do more harm than good: going out of your way to obfuscate an implementation detail that happens to be a perfectly good interface is down-right harmful. </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.
