  • Patent number: 9489418
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide database integration within an integrated development environment (IDE) tool for displaying database structure and other database information, query editing and execution, and error detection for database statements embedded in program source code. Embodiments of the invention integrate database connectivity and error detection into the IDE tool, thereby potentially reducing the time required for database-aware application development.

  • Patent number: 6553371
    Abstract: A system, a program storage device and a software method, useable in a computer database system with a display device, is provided for displaying and selecting table joins. The method is capable of assisting in a user's selection of a table join by displaying all user-selected database tables in a join overview diagram and automatically inferring and displaying in a join grid each join grid row having a potential valid table join for a pair of user-selected database tables. The method accepts the user's selection of a join grid row from the join grid, and, in response, places a join indicator in the join overview diagram between icons representing the pair of user-selected database tables from the user-selected join grid row. The user's join grid row selection is performed with a single operation.

  • Patent number: 5701456
    Abstract: In a computerized database system, a query is formulated to retrieve data from the database by interactively identifying at least one table containing query data, and at least one column and at least one row in the identified table containing the query data. The rows are interactively identified using a condition statement. The condition statement is interactively formulated using at least one displayed flowline. Input is received from the user specifying a position on the flowline for insertion of a predicate and the predicate. The flowline is displayed with the predicate inserted in the specified location. The predicates are displayed on the flowline in between nodes. Predicates on the same flowline are combined through a logical AND operation. Predicates on different flowlines between the same nodes are combined through a logical OR operation. The flowline is converted to a corresponding Boolean algebra statement and displayed.
