Highlighting entities in a display representation of a database query, results of a database query, and debug message of a database query to indicate associations

摘要

An apparatus and method highlight entities in a display representation of a database query, result of a database query, and debug message of a database query to indicate associations, statistics, trends, and/or different groupings. Due to conventional techniques used to write database queries, display results of database queries, and the large number of messages in a job log or trace upon executing a database query, these may be confusing. However, highlighting may be applied to the display representations consistent with the invention to indicate associations, statistics, trends, and/or different groupings generally increasing productivity and decreasing human error.
