<p>Using a built-in tool of the invention, the following processes are carried out: a format defining process of creating a data base by generating format structure data from screen data information about slips prepared on a screen on which a spreadsheet program is running, delivering an SQL sentence for building a data base to a data base management system (DBMS) and building a data base; a slip storing process for entering data into the data base from slips carrying data on the screen of the spreadsheet program, and a slip retrieving process for retrieving the data base from a slip carrying a retrieval command on the screen of the program and displaying the retrieval results on the screen. Therefore, a data base can be built from slips prepared by an end user by using a spreadsheet program without designing tables. Handling the slips, as a user interface, prepared by the end user by using a spreadsheet program, without being conscious of tables, the end user can enter data into a data base and retrieve data in units of a slip.</p> |
