如果您曾经遇到过一个高度特定于领域的业务软件，您可能已经注意到它主要是一些关系数据库的图形前端。事实上，你也可能根本就避免使用这个系统研究表明，信息工作者更喜欢将他们的数据转储到电子表格中，这是一种通用的、更熟悉的工具，不幸的是，它不适合许多标准的数据库任务。现在是时候停止为每个模式创建新应用程序的过程，而是开发可视化查询语言，让最终用户从简单统一的界面访问关系数据库管理系统的全部功能。一旦信息工作者能够像今天常规地操作电子表格一样轻松地创建、管理和查询真实的数据库，他们就再也不会回到依赖于模式、顾问制作和颜色古怪的Microsoft Access应用程序了。
If you have ever encountered a piece of highly domain-specific business software, you may have noticed that it was largely a graphical front-end to some relational database. You may also, in fact, have avoided using the system at all—studies show that information workers prefer to dump their data into spreadsheets, a general and more familiar tool which, unfortunately, is poorly suited for many standard database tasks. It is time that we stop streamlining the process of creating a new application for every schema, and that we instead develop the visual query languages that will let endusers access the full power of relational database management systems from a simple and unified interface. Once information workers can create, manage, and query real databases with the same ease as they routinely manipulate spreadsheets today, they will never return to their schemadependent, consultant-made, and oddly-colored Microsoft Access applications.
