ANACON: SQL query analyzer

Abstract

Next, we will introduce a teaching experience about the development and application of a support tool for the practical lessons of the Database I subject at the Escuela Universitaria Politécnica de Teruel. ANACON is a query analyzer based on SQL (Structured Query Language), which allows pupils to learn quickly and intuitively this language without having to know the complex aspects and the special features that usually show the query analyzers built-in the DBMS (Database Management Systems). In this article we describe the tool, just as the obtained results after making use of it, related on the one hand to the presented number over registered number and on the other hand, to the pupil marks obtained during the academic course 2004/2005. In spite of the fact that it can be soon to make conclusions, the results encourage us to improve some application features, and to carry on with the tool in the practical lessons of the subject.
