SQLf and FQUERY for access

摘要

FQUERY for Access [1,2], designed and implemented in its pilot version by the present authors, provides for the processing of fuzzy queries in the framework of the popular Microsoft Access* database management system. In the paper we discuss some enhancement to the package that are inspired by the concepts elaborated by Bosc and his collaborators [3] in a series of papers on the SQLf language. These enhancements consist in the extension to the FQUERY's for Access underlying querying language as well as in increasing the efficiency of the fuzzy querying engine.
