Abstract: A graphical interface for a database is provided to simplify the definition of individual predicates, the definition of the relationship of predicates, the editing of predicates, and the editing of the relationship of predicates is simplified. The interface is dynamic and interactive for the user thereby facilitating the completion of the task being performed. The user need not remember the related column information for a specified predicate because the system will provide that information simultaneously with the predicate definition in a form that supports the direct manipulation of the related information. The predicates and their relationship are displayed simultaneously with the definition activities for both the initial definition and any subsequent editing activities. The user may select this information and drag it to the desired location to proceed on the desired activity.

Abstract: Method allows a user to define a relationship between two or more parameters, with each parameter having a value displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI), such as a dialogue box. The method involves display of the parameters and then definition of a relationship between the parameters using keyboard, mouse, or other input method and then display of each of the parameters involved.
