There must be procedural code somewhere that translates down to machine code to actually produce the UI - is that done externally to the DBMS (e.g. with something like PHP or ASP using the database to get parameters) or internally (at the physical implimentation level or the DBMS itself)?
If it was internal it would be like an layer enabling relations to access the windows API - so for example you put the coordinates into a relation and up pops a window automatically. You delete the row and the window disappears. Is this how it works?
