ABSTRACT:: We present a user interface paradigm for database
management systems motivated by scientific visualization 
applications. Our graphical user interface includes a 
"boxes and arrows" notation for database access and a 
flight simulator model of movement through information
space. We also provide means to specify a hierarchy of
abstracts of data of different types and resolutions. In
addition, multiple portals on data may be related as 
master and slaves. The underlying DBMS support for this 
system includes the compilation of query plans into 
megaplans, new algorithms for data buffering, and provisions
for a guaranteed rate of delivery.
