  abstract =     "RDBI is an educational tool that provides students
                 with the capability to test their understanding of the
                 formal relational query languages (relational algebra,
                 domain relational calculus and tuple relational
                 calculus) and the industry standard query language SQL.
                 Although RDBI is an integral part of the database
                 management courses at a number of universities, it is
                 unavailable to those universities that do not have a
                 license for the software product in which RDBI is
                 implemented. WinRDBI, a version of RDBI for Windows,
                 removes this limitation by increasing the availability
                 of the educational tool to a standard Windows platform.
                 Another advantage of WinRDBI is its graphical user
                 interface, providing the student with a more intuitive
                 interface than the command line interface of RDBI. This
                 paper describes the architecture and user interface of
                 WinRDBI. The features of WinRDBI are also illustrated
                 using nontrivial examples from a popular database text.
                 Although formal relational query languages do not
                 provide inherent support for aggregation, these
                 examples illustrate how to write queries in the formal
                 languages to support (a limited form of) counting and
                 minimum/maximum queries.",
