DBTouch Key idea: touch based interfaces to database systems half-baked system Pros: people not used to databases can manipulate data
Databases are hard to use Do you agree? Why? Why not?
Issues with the DBTouch Idea Alternatives Use-cases Understanding of Data Understanding of Operations
Issues with the DBTouch Idea Alternatives Excel Visual Analytics tools Keyword search in Databases Use-cases Understanding of Data Understanding of Operations
Issues with the DBTouch Idea Alternatives Excel Visual Analytics tools Keyword search in Databases Use-cases Only browsing data? What about searching, aggregation Understanding of Data Understanding of Operations
Issues with the DBTouch Idea Alternatives Excel Visual Analytics tools Keyword search in Databases Use-cases Only browsing data? What about searching, aggregation Understanding of Data Need to understand schema, row-col layout Understanding of Operations
Issues with the DBTouch Idea Alternatives Excel Visual Analytics tools Keyword search in Databases Use-cases Only browsing data? What about searching, aggregation Understanding of Data Need to understand schema, row-col layout Understanding of Operations Need to understand what the operations mean
Issues with the Execution Space of Operators Space of Optimizations Intuitiveness
Issues with the Execution Space of Operators Limited primarily scans Space of Optimizations Limited because space of operators is limited Intuitiveness Does scan do what it is supposed to? Do pinch and zoom do what it is supposed to? Summaries instead of more values How do I jump to the kth entry?
Issues with Individual Operators Scan Aggregation Joins Filters
Row to Column DBTouch changes layout from row-to-col based on user input. Does this make sense?
