Abstract
This paper is intended to highlight the evolution of interaction techniques between users and database systems. We examine the evolution of database query languages and emphasize the importance of the graphical interface taking in account the availability of new function alities and the users demand. Then, using examples in a medical environment, we present the characteristics of an interactive graphical language based on icons.
