Abstract

This paper proposes to add some facilities to a conventional database management system (DBMS) to support interactive survey analysis of statistical data. Data dictionaries were developed, derived statistical data is treated as regular data and summary tables as the results of analysis are optionally stored. The extension of an existing DBMS enables us to retrieve the database for queries that including statistical operations, e.g., means, variances, and can survey very large data interactively. An implemented prototype system is also presented.
