Fquery for Access: Fuzzy Querying for a Windows-Based DBMS
Janusz Kacprzyk, Sławomir Zadrożny · 1995
We present an “add-on” to Microsoft Access, one of new Microsoft Windows based popular DBMSs, which makes possible the use of queries that allow for a more intelligent and human consistent information retrieval. More specifically, fuzzy (imprecise) descriptions and linguistic quantifiers are accommodated to allow for queries as, e.g., “find (all) records such that most of the (important) clauses are satisfied (to a degree from [0,1])”. Zadeh’s (1983) fuzzy logic based calculus of linguistically quantified propositions is employed.
