Frequently Asked Questions - The Pastor's Study

1. What is a Query?
   By definition, a query is much the same as a question. In the case of database queries, a user is asking their database a question. Computer programs use languages that we, as humans do not ordinarily use in our daily lives. In this case Query Wizard acts as our interpreter. The Query Wizard interpreter allows questions to be asked in a language that both the user and their database will understand.
   
   Each Query may consist of one or more questions, logically connected with an AND or an OR logical operator to complete a valid "computer" question Query Wizard must collect three components of information: Field, Operator and Value. Given these three components, Query Wizard will construct a meaningful question.
