Database Queries
To look up information in Ingres tables, questions called queries are used. Queries retrieve specific data. For example, you can ask for the price and quantity of all parts in inventory or produce a list of all orders filled this month. You can display the answer to the query on a terminal or print it out as a report.
Adding, deleting, or changing data in a database is also a query, because you are asking the database to accept the new data.
