Ultorg: The User Interface for Relational Databases

Dynamic Autolayout In business or engineering data, or in the social sciences, you may be dealing with hundreds of fields of various data types—text, numbers, and dates—spread across dozens of tables, each with thousands (or millions) of rows. To retain sanity, it is essential not to have to spend time tweaking formatting settings for each individual field, or for every new database query. Ultorg eliminates such hard, manual labor, by analyzing your data on the fly and deriving carefully tuned defaults. For example, label placements, table column widths, text field dimensions, decimal precision, and pagination are all handled automatically. You can see all your data with fewer keystrokes. Ultorg's typographical engine can visualize records and one-to-many relationships using a combination of general-purpose strategies, such as nested tables, forms, and crosstabs. Ultorg's visual data layouts are analogous to the hand-designed user interface screens you might see in traditional, tailored database applications. But in Ultorg, they are available immediately, for any data, without custom programming.
