+<div class="section" id="show-entries">
+<h2>Show Entries<a class="headerlink" href="#show-entries" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>This view shows all the entries stored in the database. It listens on the
+root of the application and will select title and text from the database.
+The one with the highest id (the newest entry) will be on top. The rows
+returned from the cursor are tuples with the columns ordered like specified
+in the select statement. This is good enough for small applications like
+here, but you might want to convert them into a dict. If you are
+interested in how to do that, check out the <a class="reference internal" href="../patterns/sqlite3.html#easy-querying"><em>Easy Querying</em></a> example.</p>
+<p>The view function will pass the entries as dicts to the
+<cite>show_entries.html</cite> template and return the rendered one:</p>

+<p>The logout function, on the other hand, removes that key from the session
+again. We use a neat trick here: if you use the <a class="reference external" href="http://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes.html#dict.pop" title="(in Python v3.3)"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">pop()</span></tt></a> method
+of the dict and pass a second parameter to it (the default), the method
+will delete the key from the dictionary if present or do nothing when that
+key is not in there. This is helpful because now we don&#8217;t have to check
+if the user was logged in.</p>
