Supporting the Spreadsheet Idea for Interactive Database Applications

چکیده
Data base applications allow the analysis of complex and large data. There are many analysis functions showing different relations between the data. End users have often new requirements to see data and relations which can not be shown by the existing analysis software. They need possibilities to create new user interfaces to fit their requirements. Generally, users don’t have programming knowledge and cannot wait until the development department has specified the corresponding software. They need a tool which can easily and quick produce corresponding results. The tool must allow navigating via complex data structures of data bases. This paper discusses a tool that allows end users to specify interactive applications like spreadsheets. The tool supports OLAP applications and is based on the Qt Designer.

Relation Between Imprecise DESA and MOLP Methods
It is generally accepted that Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a method for indicating efficiency. The DEA method has many applications in the field of calculating the relative efficiency of Decision Making Units (DMU) in explicit input-output environments. Regarding imprecise data, several definitions of efficiency can be found. The aim of our work is showing an equivalence relation between ...
متن کاملOnline Dynamic Reordering for Interactive Data Processing
We present a pipelining, dynamically usercontrollable reorder operator, for use in dataintensive applications. Allowing the user to reorder the data delivery on the fly increases the interactivity in several contexts such as online aggregation and large-scale spreadsheets; it allows the user to control the processing of data by dynamically specifying preferences for different data items based o...
متن کاملA Spreadsheet Tool for Creating Web Applications Using Online Data
We present a tool called Gneiss that extends the familiar spreadsheet model to support creating data-drive web applications that use data from the Internet. Gneiss allows the user to extract data from arbitrary REST web services to a spreadsheet and send spreadsheet data to web services dynamically without writing conventional code. It provides new spreadsheet functions and interface elements t...
متن کاملToward Interactive Spreadsheet Debugging
Spreadsheet applications are often developed in a comparably unstructured process without rigorous quality assurance mechanisms. Faults in spreadsheets are therefore common and finding the true causes of an unexpected calculation outcome can be tedious already for small spreadsheets. The goal of the Exquisite project is to provide spreadsheet developers with better tool support for fault identi...
متن کاملA Recovery Method Supporting User-Interactive Undo in Database Management Systems
User-interactive undo is a kind of recovery facility that allows users to correct mistakes easily by canceling and reexecuting operations that have already been executed. Supporting user-interactive undo is essential for authoring processes in new database applications such as software engineering, hypermedia, and computer-aided design. A partial rollback using savepoints supported by commercia...
