Query

 

Definition: A query is a custom report generated by a statement (question) posed to a database.

What This Means: Standard reports are somebody else’s idea of what’s important to know. A query is your own idea of a report you want. Reporting applications have user interfaces for composing a query that typically allows the user to select available measures or “facts” and designate the breakouts/disaggregations or “dimensions” of interest.
