@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/2871, title = {Free-Form Query for Cell Phones}, author = {R. Ahmad and S. Abdul-Kareem}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {It is a challenge to provide a wide range of queries to database query systems for small mobile devices, such as the PDAs and cell phones. Currently, due to the physical and resource limitations of these devices, most reported database querying systems developed for them are only offering a small set of pre-determined queries for users to possibly pose. The above can be resolved by allowing free-form queries to be entered on the devices. Hence, a query language that does not restrict the combination of query terms entered by users is proposed. This paper presents the free-form query language and the method used in translating free-form queries to their equivalent SQL statements.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {3}, number = {11}, year = {2009}, pages = {2488 - 2493}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/2871}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/35}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 35, 2009}, }
