Primary keys are sorted to the top of the table symbols
Lines are thicker on hover to make it easier to select the relevant symbol
Query does not filter out empty tables.
This completes the set of databases that I have made this work for, might include DB2 at some point in the future if I ever work on an IBM system.
For this interactive version, hovering over the lines makes them larger so that you can click to highlight the line. This makes it easy to plan out a query by following the links between the relevant tables, regardless of where they are on the screen. A good example of this would be tracing out which language DVDs are rented out in a specified city? This needs seven tables and six relationships to determine this, and it is much easier to have the path highlighted while writing the query than having to remember the path as you write the query.
The experimental section of the paper is worth a read, and again, you can tell that Matzger’s group has good technique because everyone made it intact to the writing of the manuscript. There are pictures of the crystals themselves, which are very nice, until you realize that they’re plotting to blow you into the ceiling crawl space at the first opportunity. It says that “no unplanned detonations were encountered” during the work, which is a nice distinction.
