Query-by-Example (QBE) [1] was a product from IBM Research in the mid 1970s. It was the first relational database management system to implement a graphical interface. There is a good article on QBE in www.cs.wisc.edu/~dbbook/openAccess/thirdEdition/qbe.pdf.

There have been several imitations of QBE, including Microsoft Query by Example.
