  abstract =     "One of the prominent uses of WWW has been WEB-based
                 querying of databases. Search sites such as Yahoo and
                 Infoseek present the WWW user with a form to be filled
                 in with a query and return the results of the search.
                 WEB forms are also being increasingly used for
                 interaction with database management systems. One key
                 element of the Intranet environment is the use of
                 WEB-based facilities for query processing. In our
                 undergraduate database course project, we decided to
                 not only have the students design and implement
                 relations in a relational database management system,
                 but also provide a WEB-based facility that allows for
                 fairly complex query processing. The actual data was
                 the entire catalog (12,000 holdings) of the Department
                 of Business Management's Library. The students had to
                 first design the appropriate normalized relations and
                 then load the data into a Relational Database
                 Management System (RDBMS). We used PostgreSQL as the
                 RDBMS [1]. The students then designed WEB forms that
                 allowed a user to query the library database using a
                 Web browser. The user could specify simple and complex
                 queries. The students used PHP [2], a public domain
                 tool, to embed SQL queries into ordinary HTML form
                 documents. This avoided the use of CGI scripts or Java
                 applets, thus making the programming task much simpler.
                 This paper presents details of the mechanics of the
                 student project, examples from the students'
                 submissions, and concluding remarks that highlight the
                 benefits of WEB-based query processing.",
