Run-Time Environment for English Query Applications
At run-time, an end user of an English Query Web-based application connects to a Web page through Microsoft® Internet Explorer (or another Web browser), and enters a question. Internet Explorer then passes the question to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), along with the URL of the Active Server Pages (ASP) page that executes Microsoft Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript).
The script passes the question to English Query for translation into SQL. English Query uses a model of the target database (in the form of a compiled English Query model) to parse the question and translate it into SQL. The script then retrieves the SQL code, executes it using Microsoft ActiveX® Data Objects (ADO), and displays the results as HTML.
Note English Query is not compliant with Microsoft Windows® 2000 logo requirements, because it appears within Microsoft Visual Studio® version 6.0.
