Data evaluation

The program MILAB-WIN enables the user to create evaluations. For this purpose, the program has an SQL editor and a form generator. The creation of evaluations is based on the database language SQL ( Structured Query Language), developed in an IBM lab in San Jose (California) in the late seventies. SQL is a non-procedural language, i.e. it is decisive „what“ is done but not „how“ it is done. Therefore SQL describes which data have to be recalled, to be deleted or to be inserted, but does not describe how this is done. In comparison to other database languages, SQL is a quantity-oriented language, which means that the data quantities are processed in groups.
