Homonym: Query (Question)
A "query" is a request for information or data, often used in the context of databases and search engines. When a user inputs a query, the system processes it to retrieve relevant results. Queries can be simple, like searching for a specific word, or complex, involving multiple criteria.
In computer programming, a query is typically written in a specific language, such as SQL for databases. This allows users to ask questions about the data stored in a database, enabling them to filter, sort, and analyze information efficiently.
