Abstract
The paper presents the effects obtained so far by the author in integration of data and rules in Expert Systems and designing complex information systems. The Inference with Queries (IwQ) method was used. This solution is based on using SQL mechanisms with data stored in a relational database as a knowledge base. Our solution joins the concept of frame-based knowledge representation, replaced partially with a relational database model, with inference possibilities given by procedural languages. Results of the tests show that the idea of joining the possibilities of rule systems and SQL is advisable. The prospects connected with using IwQ method for designing complex information system and their simulation seem to be highly interesting.
