The advent of Internet and the increase in non-standard use of databases demand support for interface design primitives for ad hoc and user-friendly interface design. In this paper, we propose an interface description sub-language, called the SQLi, as a non-intrusive extension of SQL to facilitate ad hoc interface generation and data display with user preferred overriding capabilities. In support of our proposed extension and as a demonstration of its functional capabilities we introduce our system called SQL/IDL form generator that can be used as an add-on to any relational system as a query front end. We discuss the salient features of the tool and the SQLi extension through an illustrative example and argue that our proposed extension is adaptive enough to accommodate future changes and needs.
