Systems and methods for querying databases

A method for providing visualization of data objects in a relational database, comprising:

• (a) bringing an electronic device of a user in communication with a computer server comprising said relational database that stores said data objects in a non-hierarchical data structure, which electronic device comprises a user interface;
• (b) displaying a first output of a first relationship of said data objects on said user interface, wherein said first relationship is between said data objects in said non-hierarchical data structure, and wherein said first output includes one or more graphical elements that are representative of said first relationship;
• (c) receiving a request from said user to access a subset of said data objects stored in said relational database, which request is inputted in said user interface that displays said relationship;
• (d) accessing said relational database to retrieve said subset of said data objects from said relational database;
• (e) generating a second relationship of said data objects, wherein said second relationship is representative of said subset of said data objects;
• and
• (f) generating and displaying a second output of said second relationship on said user interface, which second output includes one or more graphical elements that are representative of said second relationship.

A system for providing visualization of data objects to a user, comprising:

• a database that stores said data objects in a non-hierarchical manner;
• and
• one or more computer processors operatively coupled to said relational database, wherein said one or more computer processors are individually or collectively programmed to (i) provide a first output of a first relationship of said data objects for display on a user interface, wherein said first relationship is between said data objects in said non-hierarchical manner, and wherein said first output includes one or more graphical elements that are representative of said first relationship;
• (ii) receive a request from said user to access a subset of said data objects stored in said relational database, which request is inputted in said user interface that displays said relationship;
• (iii) access said relational database to retrieve said subset of said data objects from said relational database;
• (iv) generate a second relationship of said data objects, wherein said second relationship is representative of said subset of said data objects;
• and (v) generate a second output of said second relationship for display on said user interface, which second output includes one or more graphical elements that are representative of said second relationship.
