Abstract
In conventional information systems the introduction of new kinds of information, new data structures and new layouts of the user interface make an adaptation of the corresponding database application necessary. In this approach we introduced a concept of metadata information systems in the field of relational databases which reduces the expenditure for software maintenance significantly. With our metadata concept the adaptation can be done by the system administrator without changing the source code of the application. However, the development of metadata based information systems requires development environments which support the generation of user interfaces that may be changed dynamically at application runtime. We analyzed four development environments with respect to their suitability for the design and implementation of database applications which are based on metadata and provide a dynamic user interface.
