Abstract	Advances in wireless communication and powerful computing technologies will eventually lead to a digital environment in which computing functionality will be embedded in all kinds of objects, which are capable of recognizing and responding to individual needs in a seamless, unobtrusive, and often invisible way. Such a vision was coined Ambient Intelligence (AmI) [1], [5], whose aim is to bring information and communication technologies to everyone, every home, every school, and every business. Different from the traditional desktop-based database access paradigm, users in an AmI environment may request information anytime anywhere via any handheld device. The digital environment continuously monitors users' context (e.g., location, activity, etc.) to ensure the right information for the right user at the right context. The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of users' context upon database querying, as reflected from an SQL-based context-aware database query language.
