A method of defining in a computer system a subset of entries in a database is described. The subset is defined by a query. The method includes displaying an interface having a number of criteria description locations. The criteria description locations being positioned in rows where each row has one or more columns. The method also includes creating a criteria description in the interface. The criteria description corresponds to criteria, where the criteria define a corresponding subset of the database. Importantly, the relative location of the criteria description in the user interface determines how the criteria contribute to the selectivity of the query.

Cette invention a trait à une méthode permettant de définir, dans un système informatique, un sous-ensemble d'entrées dans une base de données. Le sous-ensemble est défini par une interrogation. Cette méthode suppose l'affichage d'une interface ayant un certain nombre d'emplacements de description de critères, ces emplacements étant placés dans des rangées et chaque rangée possédant un ou plusieurs colonnes. Cette méthode suppose également la création d'une description de critères dans l'interface. Cette description correspond à des critères, ceux-ci définissant un sous-ensemble correspondant de la base de données. L'important est que l'emplacement relatif de la description de critères dans l'interface utilisateur détermine la façon dont les critères contribuent à la sélectivité de l'interrogation.
