A database system is accessible by a client system over a data network. In one
arrangement, a server system is connected to the data network to receive requests
from the client system. In response to the request, the server system issues corresponding
queries to the database system to retrieve data. The data is then formatted by
the server system and sent to the client system, where the formatted data is displayed,
such as in a browser screen. The formatted data includes hyperlinks that are user
selectable to retrieve further objects from the database system. When selection
of the hyperlink is received, the client system sends a request to the server system,
which retrieves the requested object or objects from the database system. The objects
are communicated back to the client system for presentation.
