Abstract

A machine-executed method and apparatus for displaying relationships between records in one or more databases in a browseable format is disclosed. Each database comprises one or more tables. Each table includes one or more fields and one or more records. The method entails: (a) displaying, on a display, a field value of a selected record in a table of a selected database; (b) displaying on the display a list of possible relationships between the selected record and other records in the database, where each possible relationship defines a pathway from the selected record to a list of other records; (c) receiving a user input signal designating one of the possible relationships as a selected relationship; (d) adding to the display at least a portion of a list of records that are related to the selected record through the selected relationship, referred to as the related-records list; and (e) adding to the display a list of possible relationships between the related-records list and other records in the database, where each possible relationship defines a pathway from the related-records list to a list of other records.
