Many friends of mine have questions and doubts regarding the “Specialized Syntax based Query Building” system. They would, however, prefer the “Form-based Query Building”. Why do we need such a system, when the conventional system is working fine ? Why does the user have to type a “Specialized Syntax”, can’t he just use SQL ? and many more questions arise. Lets consider the following scenario :
“A local newsletter-based company has to keep a check on its members, their subscription details. But, they have no system in-place. But, now with the help of newly recruited young staff, they have started to grow. As their enterprise is expanding, they have now felt the need of a Members management system. The management staff, however, is a genius in management, but they are not so good at SQL or databases. So, they call their friend, who is also a developer to get the job done for them.”
