| Abstract: | After nearly 30 years, database integration remains the province of engineers and application developers. In an informal proof, Krishnamurthy, Litwin and Kent [KLK91] demonstrated that only higher order relational languages such as SchemaSQL and SchemaLog [LSS96] are general enough to concisely describe the merging of data from multiple heterogeneous sources. However, those languages are incrementally harder to program than SQL. A modern solution is to provide a GUI language with the same capabilities. However, a Query-by-Example (QBE) [Zloof77] type interface does not allow the unambiguous specification of higher order data integrating queries. |
