A query facility to a network DBMS is described wherein it is possible to retrieve and update the data in the database. Apart from the existential and universal quantifiers, some additional quantifiers, which are found useful in a database environment, are provided for. A facility, called the discourse facility, by which a set of related queries can be asked is also explained. In this, the data retrieved in a query can be used in subsequent queries.
