Flexible data queries

Abstract: The Structured Query Language (SQL) has been established as a standard for querying relational databases. However, users face the problem how to define their requirements for data by the exact query conditions. This work examines advantages of fuzzy queries, which provide a better representation of the user requirements by expressing imprecise conditions through linguistic terms. Further, the paper discusses solving empty and overabundant answer problems, revealing similarities in database entities and applying preferences in query conditions. Finally, paper discusses practical realisations of fuzzy queries.
