Abstract
Simplified access to relational databases is achieved. The inherent relationships that exist between tables in a relational database are detected and a dictionary is constructed that contains attributes that defines the relationships that exist within the database. The attributes of the database contained within the dictionary are mapped to objects of the database so that a user can navigate the database without using a database programming language using menus created from the dictionary.
