Abstract

This paper introduces SEEQ - a System for Enhanced Exploration and Querying. It is a visual query system for databases that uses a diagrammatic visualization for most user interaction. The database schema is displayed as a graph of the data model including classes, associations and attributes. The user formulates the query in terms of direct manipulation as a graph of the schema objects, additional operators and constants. The output of the query is visualized as a graph of instances and constants or in some other format that is appropriate for the data. SEEQ can operate on arbitrary relational data base provided that the schema is in XML format.
