I can never remember the difference between a filter and a query. I thought strfry only had filters.

you query the database with filters

I thought you query the database and then run filters on the query?

Or are the terms used differently in different tools?

the filters are the query

Oh, guess that's different, than in a RDB, where filters are just the WHERE clauses and stuff.

Guess there are no real queries, in strfry, since it's all documents instead of tables, so you don't have to assemble a subset of table columns to filter (filters applying to the content of the rows), you just filter all of the documents.

Or something.

yeah its a single table so you only need a filter clause

Thanks, that clarified it for me.
