query Command--Invoke QBF Query Execution
The query command invokes the Query Execution phase of Query-By-Forms (QBF), a forms-based interface for manipulating data in a database. Through the Query Execution phase you can append, retrieve, or modify data. For a complete description of QBF Query Execution, see the Character-based Querying and Reporting Tools User Guide.
The query command has the following format:
query dbname |vnode::dbname[/server_class] [-mmode] [-t|-f|-j] querytarget [-e] [-uusername] [-Ggroupid]
The flags and parameters have the same meaning as those for the qbf command (see qbf Command--Start Query-By-Forms), except that querytarget is required on the query command.
