Query-by-Example (QBE)
Visual approach for accessing information in a database through use of query templates.
Example values are entered into template to represent what access to database is to achieve, such as the answer to a query.
Originally developed by IBM in 1970s and has proved so popular that QBE (or similar) is now provided by most DBMSs.
When user constructs a QBE - in background, DBMS creates an equivalent SQL statement.
