Abstract: This paper presents a
tool that enables non-technical
(naïve) end-users to use free-form queries in exploring relational
databases
with simple and direct technique, in a fashion similar to using search
engines
to search text files on the web. This allows web designers and database
developers to publish their databases for web browsers exploring. The
proposed
approach can be used for both Internet and Intranet application areas.
Our
technique has been borrowed from the similar techniques used for
information
retrieval (IR), mainly for text and document databases; it supports
working
smoothly with the structured information stored in relational databases.
