Abstract :
The Arab users face several problems when they search information in the database. Writing SQL query in their natural language is a major problem. This problem leads to a strong need for an Arabic information retrieval system that would help the Arabic user in searching for the desired information without the need to write SQL queries. So, this paper presents an Arabic Retrieval System by Native Language rather than SQL Queries which is called Arabic Query Analyzer (AQA). In the other words, an AQA basically transforms Arabic query texts into SQL commands. The developed system has been fully implemented and tested and has shown tangible performance in retrieving database information using Arabic natural language.
