Query-by-Browsing (QbB) is an intelligent database query interface that allows users to choose records of interst from a listing and then infers a query, for example in SQL. This is of course the opposite of most database query interfaces (including so called 'query by example') where the user writes.a query as input and then sees the results as output.
