System for querying databases
First Claim
1. A system for querying at least one database, the system comprising:
- calculation means for evaluating queries concerning availability based on data in the at least one database;
user interface means comprising user input means and display means;
wherein the user input means is configured to acquire user data comprising a query concerning availability, requested by a user to be evaluated by the calculation means;
wherein the calculation means and the user interface means are coupled to transfer user data from the user interface means to the calculation means and to transfer result data from the calculation means to the user interface means;
wherein the calculation means is configured to be operable according to user data determining quality and volume of the result data;
wherein the result data comprise at least one intermediate and/or final result of a query concerning availability; and
wherein the display means is configured to display result data.
