IDQ = Interactive Database Querying
This is the lead stone of our work and the aim is to make (SQL) database queries more interactive and less of a hassle to understand as a beginner.

SQL = Structured Query Language
SQL is a standard programming language for querying and modifying data and managing databases.

Database
A database is a program/server to store information without telling the amount of information that is stored. The information is stored in a structured environment that tells us the nature of the information and its attribute. The information is often processed by different programs that uses the information in different ways.

This site uses a database to store all information that we publish on this site. It makes it simple and easy to update the information.

Query
Query is a "question" that you make to the database in order to show, edit, delete or in other ways manage the database.

Selector
Selector is going to be the tool we develop for making the interactive database queries. The dictionary definition of Selector is, "a person or thing that selects something, in particular" Check out the Projects tab for more information about Selector.

Viewer
Viewer is going to be the tool we develop to look at the structure of a database and all it's tables. This is the first step towards making an easier understanding of the involving parts of databases.

Interactive
Interactive is to allow a two-way flow of information between it (system,tool, etc) and a user and how the it should respond to the user's input. Making something more responsive in a natural way.
