Rough query results are reported by means of simple metadata of attributes in an information system that would be a result of a standard select statement. The proposed approach is already available as an SQL extension in both Infobright Community and Enterprise Editions. Rough queries are computed practically in real time by basing on the statistical information layer, which was used so far only for the standard query optimization. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-642-31715-6\_60} \end
