EMBEDDED QUERY FORMULATION SERVICE

摘要

Systems and methods for providing and utilizing a query formulation service are described herein. In accordance with certain embodiments, an application is configured to obtain data from a target data source by interacting with a data service that makes data from a plurality of data sources available, each data source supporting a different method of query formulation. To obtain data from the target data source, the application requests a query formulation user interface (UI) associated with the target data source from a query formulation service and embeds the requested query formulation UI when it is received from the query formulation service. A user of the application then interacts with the embedded query formulation UI to formulate a query that is suitable for obtaining data from the target data source and the application sends the query to the data service for execution against the target data source.
