WISH Query Composer

The WISH (With Intuitive Search Help) Query Composer is a software tool for composing form-based queries and their associated reports for relational databases. It incorporates the SQL and XML industry standards to generate user-friendly customizable queries and reports. It uses the very simple but flexible XML semantics to represent database schemas, SQL queries and result datasets, regardless of in which relational database management system (RDBMS) the data is stored. The tool is developed in the Eclipse development environment using the Java programming language with Swing components, and connects to the database through Java Database Connectivity (JDBC). The Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) is used to automate the mapping between XML documents and Java objects.
