SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR QUERYING DATABASES USING INTERACTIVE SEARCH PATHS

摘要

A computing system or a method provides a user interface to perform data analysis in a relational database, comprising: (a) bringing an electronic device of a user in communication with a computer server comprising the relational database that stores data objects in a non-hierarchical manner, which electronic device comprises a user interface; (b) receiving a request from the user via the user interface to perform a task directed to at least a subset of the data objects; (c) generating filtering operations for the task, which filtering operations is stored in a memory unit and, upon execution, generates a filtered data set from the subset of the data objects; and (d) automatically generating a search path comprising a plurality of visual graphical elements on the user interface, and the visual graphical elements correspond to the one or more filtering operations.
