DBSum is a Database Summary Management System that provides various tools to support data reduction with query and analytical processing techniques on top of a DBMS. The current implementation has two parts: a summarization engine, namely SaintEtiQ , for building and updating database summaries; a full-feature user interface coined SEQT (Summary Exploration and Querying Tool ) which provides languages, algorithms and views to query, search and browse into summaries. SaintEtiQ computes and maintains abstract and user-friendly views from very large databases. Aa an alternative to the win32 executable version of SaintEtiQ , SaintEtiQ is also exposed as a Web Service. SEQT is a new software component which provides efficient search algorithms to filter summaries and support flexible query processing and personalized queries.
