Expressive Query Construction through Direct Manipulation of Nested Relational Results

Summary: First visual query system: direct manipulation of nested results; view/modify any query part; SQL-like expressiveness. Spreadsheet idioms enable full relational operators; processing stays in the DB; studies show usability gains vs Access. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
