i have started with created a content type history and i have written a rule to insert one row in the table..

it works fine but when i create a view to display the results it doesn.t show up. only the rows which i have created manually(create content-> history),the view display only this results..

The devel module gives a lot of debugging functions. It'll let you either print stuff to the page or to a log file. You can also use the Drupal extension for firefox and print it to the console instead.

I don't use the firebug addon/module combo myself, so wont comment on that. I would recommend using it over devel though. I've just gotten used to devel and how it works that I haven't bothered / needed to switch yet.
To use devel, you need to call either dpm() to get your debugging printed to the screen or dd() to get it printed to a log file. The log file is created in the tmp file dir, that is selected in the file settings.
