Abstract

The variety of user interfaces of existing database querying tools made the interfaces unfriendly to the database users. The users are forced to shift between different application environments to pass information between applications. The diverse interface definitions and command sets of the different applications prevent the users from having high productivity. In this paper we propose a new standard querying interface, whose querying power is distributed to applications throughout the operating system. The proposed querying interface would improve the data accessibility of the databases. This new standard is called Distributed Querying Interface Standard(DQIS) by the authors.
