Abstract
The present invention relates to a query generator for generating a query for obtaining selected data from a database. The query generator includes a processor which is adapted to receive an input indicating the selected data to be obtained. The processor then analyses the input to determine whether the input requires a joining of data in different tables, and an aggregation step. If so, the processor generates a query which causes the database to aggregate the data within each of the tables as required; and, join the aggregated data, the joined aggregated data representing the selected data.
