in response to receiving the form name input, displaying on a display device one of the plurality of forms on which the type of cell site data corresponding to the received form name input is stored, wherein the plurality of fields of the displayed one of the plurality of forms are blank;
after displaying the one of the plurality of forms on which the type of cell site data corresponding to the received form name input is stored, receiving a value in one of the plurality of blank fields, wherein the value corresponds to a cellular site;
generating a plurality of queries to retrieve the type of cell site data corresponding to the form name input for the cellular site corresponding to the received value from the cellular site information database;
sending the plurality of queries to the cellular site information database;
receiving the type of cell site data corresponding to the form name input for the cellular site corresponding to the received value from the cellular site information database;
displaying the type of cell site data corresponding to the form name input for the cellular site corresponding to the received value from the cellular site information database in the plurality of blank fields of the displayed one of the plurality of forms;
receiving user input editing the data in at least one of the plurality of fields;
generating commands corresponding to the user input to edit the data; and
sending the commands to the cellular site information database to edit the data.

Abstract
An interactive, menu-driven interface to a cellular site information database is disclosed. The user may enter a form name such as channel, cell, trkgrp, trkmem, etc. into a form selection screen. The user may enter the operation desired to be performed on the form such as review, delete, insert, update, etc. to choose which form to view. After the user has entered the form name and the operation desired into the interface, the entered form is displayed to the user. A query, such as a SQL query, is issued to populate the fields of the form displayed on the interface with data from the database. The user may select one or more of the fields in the form and make revisions, addition, edits, etc. The user may then select the action command such as insert, review, update or delete. Commands, such as SQL commands, are generated to perform the action desired by the user on the database.
