SQLf and FQUERY for Access

FQUERY for Access, designed and implemented in its pilot version by the authors (J. Kacprzyk, and S. Zadrozny, 1995; 1999), provides for the processing of fuzzy queries in the framework of the popular Microsoft Access/sup (R)/ database management system. The authors discuss some enhancement to the package that are inspired by the concepts elaborated by P. Bosc and O. Pivert (1995) in a series of papers on the SQLf language. These enhancements consist of the extension to the FQUERY for Access' underlying querying language as well as in increasing the efficiency of the fuzzy querying engine.
