First Claim
1. A user interface for a data correction tool, comprising:
- a first panel for entry of search criterion for a data replacement operation, a second panel for entry of a replacement metric for the data replacement operation, and a third panel for display of simulated data records to be obtained from operation of the replacement metric upon a data set, wherein the third panel includes a command control to commit the replacement metric to the data set.

Abstract
A tool for use in a computer system revises a large set of transaction records, for example hundreds or thousands of records, with a convenient user interface. An operator builds a query for a database to retrieve transaction records. The tool generates temporary copies of the transaction records that are responsive to the query and applies a specified data revision operation to each of the temporary copies. The operator may review and approve the data revision before it is committed to the database system. After receiving approval from an operator, the computer system substitutes the revised temporary copies for the transaction records in the database.
