Embodiment Construction

[0019] Many specific details will be mentioned in the following description, but those skilled in the art should understand that these systems and methods can be implemented without at least some of the details. In some instances, well-known features or steps have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the invention.

[0020] Embodiments described herein provide a data representation that allows users to make direct and natural changes to query result records without having to rely on traditional, hard-to-find context menu options, query modification content, or separate dialog boxes to do so Change. Embodiments of the present invention overcome the limitations imposed by traditional methods for temporarily viewing different visual representations of a query result set in order to edit their content. One such approach is to have the user view a form in a display window that represents a single detail record corresponding to a result row of a database table. Altern...

Abstract

The invention relates to systems and methods for using graphic representations to manage query results. Specifically, Described are systems and methods for changing query result data graphically displayed on an electronic device. A query of a data repository is performed. A graphical representation of a set of query results identified from the query is displayed. The set of query results includes a plurality of query result records. The graphical representation includes a first node corresponding to a first record field value and a second node corresponding to a second record field value. A region proximal to the first node displays at least one query result record having the first record field value. A query result record of the at least one query result record having the first record field value is selected. A field value of a selected query result record is changed from the first record field value to the second record field value by transitioning the selected query result record to a region proximal to the second node of the graphical representation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the use of database query results, and more particularly to systems and methods for altering the set of query results displayed from a graphical representation. Background technique [0002] Data retrieval tools are widely used to query databases and display the query results in raster or table form to computer users. A grid or table is usually organized into rows and columns. The values ​​of the query results can be displayed in data fields arranged as cells formed by rows and columns. Users can define selection criteria and / or customize query results by sorting columns, filtering based on field values, etc., so that query results are displayed to users in a useful manner. [0003] Data visualization techniques may be applied when a user selects one or more rows of a database table, whereby selected items may be displayed as a histogram, bar graph, or the like. Once these graphics are displayed according t...
