Kaleidoscope: A Cooperative Menu-Guided Query Interface
Summary: Kaleidoscope offers a cooperative, menu-guided interface that builds queries via a context-sensitive menu, delivering intraquery guidance and reducing SQL/schema knowledge. Extends CFG with semantic context and derives predicates from integrity rules to prune extensions. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
