Question

i want to know details about front end and how it works or what it is??

Answer 1

In software design, the front-end is the part of a software system that interacts directly with the user.

in my opinion, software to design database or report are Front End tools.

Answer 2

A front end tool is a graphical user interface through which the user can enter the data. As you know sql you can work with it. but the end user may not know how to use sql. so for this purpouse we will create a front end which will be helpful for him to enter. we will write the logic in the front end to insert the data into appropriate table.

Answer 3

Software with attractive graphics,menu,buttons interface is called front end tool. But for behind screen action like store,retrieve,process data we may need to use database. To retrieve only selected data based on query we use SQL called structured query language. We have a lot of front end software out of them vb,vb.net are more popular. Sql is basically standard format for syntax to send query and retrieve data from database.

For Example

For Airline ticket confirmation if you want to change date of travelling You will call Airline agent to change the date. He will ask ticket id ,then he will enter id in the software developed in Visual basic for example. Now software developed in visualbasic doesnt know anything otherthan sending request so this kind of software is called front end tool or software. In order to store thousands of passengers ticket information software like Oracle,sybase is used and these softwares are called Backend software. Now Agent want only ticket information about you only. So some tool is required to present only your information by filtering using your ID. This are called SQL tool. I hope you got the picture about everything.
