ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for permitting a user to perform operations between data of at least two tables. In the invention table icons each representing one of the at least two tables are displayed on a display and the user is permitted to move one of the table icons to a position on the display where the display of the one table icon overlaps the display of another of the at least two table icons and selects an operation to be executed between data of tables corresponding to the one and the other table icons. The operation selected by the user is automatically executed when the one table icon is moved to a position overlapping the other table icon. A new table including data resulting form the selected operation and a new table icon representing the new table is generated and the new table icon representing the new table is displayed.
