Abstract

This paper presents PROQUEL, an executable specification language designed for the RUBIS system, an information system development tool.

PROQUEL is at the same time a specification language, data manipulation language, and programming language, making it particularly well suited for prototyping database applications.

After a brief introduction to the RUBIS system, the functionality and the various advantages of the PROQUEL language are detailed.
