In this demonstration we present a complete fuzzy-set-based approach to preference queries that tackles the two main questions raised by the introduction of flexibility and personalization when querying relational databases: i) how to efficiently execute preference queries? and, ii) how to help users define preferences and queries? As an answer to the first question, we propose PostgreSQL_f, a module implemented on top of PostgreSQL to handle fuzzy queries. To answer the second question, we propose ReqFlex an intuitive user interface to the definition of preferences and the construction of fuzzy queries.
