The query at the base of the screen with the icon that universally represents stored data refers to SQL Queries.

SQL pronounce Sea QUELL means Standard Query Language. It is a universal language used to command the database to do either inserts, displays, edits etc e.g

Select * from userstables would result in a list of all fields in the table userstables

All data on this site is stored in a database, even the posts that we do are stored in a database. The query time to the left of the query icon tells you how fast the queries were done giving an idea of how efficient the server is running.

Its a verrry easy language, i picked it up before doing it at UWI. 2 days if so much and you will be able to do the basics, the adv stuff takes a lil practice.

I have a nice big book on SQL coding here in work but it's the AS400 versions.

The language is pretty the same on any platform with the exceptions in the adv syntax and some of them have their own generic functions.

My advise learn the core language and the std functions.
