Abstract

See full text

A method, system and program is provided for reconfiguring a database by the manipulation of table and column icons on a user interactive graphical display interface to the database. In the interactive display, columns are represented by icons and tables are represented by icons which in turn represent combinations of columns. One or more of the table icons are decomposed into the column icons making up the tables. The column icons are displayed in pool areas on the display from which the user may interactively select column icons and combine such column icons to form a new table represented by a table icon.
