Abstract
Methods, systems and articles of manufacture for query building with selectability of summary information. A user interface exposes a plurality of query composition elements for building abstract queries is defined by a data abstraction model. The user interface allows a user to select and apply aggregation operations to result fields of a given abstract query, and further allows a user to define result groups for the given query. The user interface further allows a user to selectively specify whether the given query will be executed as an aggregation query (by applying the aggregation operations), in which case summary information is returned according to the specified result group(s).
