.... were associated with the Entity Relationship Model [11, 12, 31, 35, 37] Subsequently, graphical interfaces were developed for more complex semantic object oriented database models [4, 14, 21, 23] Graph oriented end user interfaces have also been developed for recursive data objects and queries [7, 18, 38]. Unfortunately, most interfaces using graphs as their central tool are rather limited in expressive power, as far as data manipulation is concerned. Most object oriented database models, on the other hand, offer computationally complete data languages. These languages are mostly non graphical ....

....windows and example elements. It utilizes the restricted universal quantifier operator in a flexible manner to express or simulate various fundamental queries. It facilitates querying databases of several models in a uniform and consistent way. We demonstrate the capabilities of the language through a rich collection of examples for relational, nested and object oriented databases and study the formal properties of the relational and nested components. We review related work in the area of visual query languages and discuss various languages in detail. We compare and contrast the ....

....Various people have contributed to this work in equally various ways. Dr.Gultekin and Meral Ozsoyoglu have provided the moral support and quality reviews which played an important role in the design of VQL. Dr. Gultekin Ozsoyoglu have also supported me financially for some period. My parents Zehra and Bahri Aslandogan have always given me the energy and the enthusiasm when I needed them most. It was amazing to see how much energy telephone lines could transfer between hearts accross continents. Maybe this is some wireless thing yet to be discovered by scientists of 21st century. I would ....
