  IBM VISUALIZER QUERY FOR AIX/6000 VERSION 1.0 (VISUALIZER QUERY)
  ________________________________________________________________


  Visualizer Query for AIX/6000 is a member of the Visualizer family of
  products, IBM's premier offering for the querying of local and distributed
  data.  It is an excellent solution for business professionals who have
  requirements for accessing relational data, querying the contents of tables
  and producing reports of selected data.

  Visualizer Query is designed for use by non-computer professionals and
  provides exceptional ease of use through its point and click interface.

  Visualizer Query provides a front-end to relational data so that users can
  phrase queries to access their information without the need to know SQL
  syntax.  At the same time, facilities are provided for SQL experts to
  communicate directly with the database.

  Visualizer Query contains a range of tools that greatly assist the location,
  acquisition and display of relational data from many diverse sources.  These
  integrated facilities include:

  o   Easy-to-use Query capability

  o   Table Browsing and Updating capability

  o   Ability to enter, save and run SQL Statements

  o   Report writing capability

  The Query function permits the user to consolidate data from several tables
  into a single result in a friendly manner.

  The Report function provides the user with the ability to see results in
  either detail or summary format. Reports can be tailored through the user
  interface allowing full control of such items as Titles and specification of
  totals and percentages.

  The Table Browse/Updating function supports the browsing and updating of SQL
  data without the need to know SQL syntax.

  The SQL Statement function permits the SQL-knowledgeable user to enter any
  SQL statement or database command, and submit it to the database for
  execution.

  Visualizer Query supports the RS/6000 implementation of Distributed
  Relational Database Architecture (DRDA) supplied by IBM Distributed Data
  Connection Services/6000 (DDCS/6000). This provides the primary client server
  route to both OS/400 and S/390 relational data.
