Summary:Discusses how the VisDB system supports the query specification
process by representing the result visually. The main idea behind the
system stems from the view of relational database tables as sets of
multidimensional data where the number of attributes corresponds to the
number of dimensions. In such a view, it is often unclear. In this
system, each display pixel represents one database item. Pixels are
arranged and colored to indicate the item's relevance to a user query
and to give a visual impression of the resulting data set
