The Implementation of Form-Based Interface for Relational Database

Abstract

Currently the problem with relational DBMSs is a lack of user friendly interface. Relational query languages such as SQL and QUEL are not ideal languages for end users. The forms approach is considered the most natural interface between end-user and database. Several systems based on the forms concept have been designed and implemented. This thesis studies the effectiveness of a form-based visual interface. To evaluate the development process of the form-based applications, this thesis includes the simple implementation of form-based interface using the Form Designer of Superbase-4.
