Implementation of Graphical Language for Accessing Database.

Abstract

This thesis is a part of the implementation of a new graphics user interface for accessing a database proposed in paper(WU86). As a graphics user interface GLAD(Graphical Language for Accessing Database) has been implemented. This interface allows a user to create a database schema graphically, It is easy to learn and easy to use, in spite of conventional query languages. This thesis first discusses the general concepts of database and introduces the system that the implementation was achieved, then reviews the conventional query language and previously proposed graphical user interfaces. After describing the major features of GLAD, the implementation is explained in detail. A listing of the program that achieves the interface is also provided.
