Multitouch interfaces allow users to directly and interactively manipulate data. We propose bringing such interactive manipulation to the task of querying SQL databases. This paper describes an initial implementation of such an interface for multitouch tablet devices called GestureQuery that translates multitouch gestures into database queries. It provides database users with immediate constructive feedback on their queries, allowing rapid iteration and refinement of those queries. Based on preliminary user studies, Gesture-Query is easier to use, and lets users construct target queries quicker than console-based SQL and visual query builders while maintaining interactive performance.
