Abstract: A method and system for the graphical formulation of filter queries is disclosed which enables data queries to be easily chosen via selection from a menu. A signal is received to filter, or query, a data table. Next, the context of a selection of data is analyzed, and a menu of filters based on that context is formulated and displayed. A filter selection is received, and the corresponding filter is executed. The results of the filter are displayed on the screen.

Abstract: Database interaction is facilitated by graphically presenting database objects in groups that are not necessarily dictated by object types of the database objects. In an example implementation, database navigation is facilitated by determining object dependency groups for a database in which each object dependency group corresponds to a database source object and includes at least those database objects that depend directly or indirectly from the corresponding database source object. When these data source object-based dependency groups are graphically displayed, selecting a database object thereof provides access thereto. In another example implementation, a user can designate an attribute associated with database objects by which the database objects are to be grouped. Thus, the database objects are grouped by various values that the user-designated associated attribute takes. These designated attribute-based value-driven groups may also be graphically displayed to enable navigation of and access to the different database objects assigned to them.

Abstract translation: 通过图形化地呈现不一定由数据库对象的对象类型指定的组中的数据库对象来促进数据库交互。 在示例实现中，通过确定数据库的对象依赖性组来促进数据库导航，其中每个对象依赖组对应于数据库源对象，并且至少包括那些直接或间接依赖于对应的数据库源对象的数据库对象。 当这些基于数据源的基于对象的依赖组被图形显示时，选择其数据库对象提供对其的访问。 在另一示例实现中，用户可以指定与要对数据库对象进行分组的数据库对象相关联的属性。 因此，数据库对象按照用户指定的关联属性所采用的各种值进行分组。 这些指定的基于属性的价值驱动组也可以以图形方式显示，以便导航和访问分配给它们的不同数据库对象。

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products modify a table definition of a database table within a database application. A method involves providing a user interface for creating a new field in the database table, receiving data that creates the new field while displaying the database table, and modifying schema of the database table to include the new field and the data. The method also involves interpreting a data type of the data as the data is received. A data type interpreted for a column in the database table that contains the new field is the data type of the data received in the new field. Still further, the method involves handling objects dependent on the database table in a manner unbeknownst to a user of the database table. Thus, the schema is modified while the objects dependent on the database table remain visible or open to the user.

Abstract translation: 方法，系统和计算机程序产品修改数据库应用程序中数据库表的表定义。 一种方法包括提供用于在数据库表中创建新字段的用户界面，在显示数据库表时接收创建新字段的数据，以及修改数据库表的模式以包括新字段和数据。 该方法还涉及在接收到数据时解释数据的数据类型。 解析为包含新字段的数据库表中的列的数据类型是在新字段中接收的数据的数据类型。 此外，该方法涉及以数据库表的用户不知情的方式处理依赖于数据库表的对象。 因此，修改模式，而依赖于数据库表的对象对用户保持可见或打开。

Abstract: A browse mode designer allows an average user of a database application program to easily design reports. The user can use the browse mode designer to build meaningful reports that aggregate data and that combine related data into shaped patterns for easier consumption of information. The browse mode designer can interpret a user's actions and extrapolate what actions are to be performed. A user interface can be used to let the user change the resulting views while being designed.

Abstract: A plurality of database application components available in a first components store is received. A plurality of pointers is created with each of the plurality of pointers referencing a selected object, such as the plurality of database application components or an existing pointer to one of the plurality of database application components. The plurality of pointers is collected into a reference group defining a plurality of selected objects included in a database application. In some examples, the database application components include a header, a footer, a control, a fragment, a table, a query, a report, a relation, a form, a conditional formatting statement, a programming component, a validation statement and a module.
