Learning the Basics of GQL

Andyne's GQL (Graphical Query Language) provides users with a point and click tool to access and retrieve data from the FS QDB. Please click through the following items to acquaint yourself with some of the basic features of GQL so you will be able to successfully complete the hands-on exercises in the 402 Learning the Data in the FS Query Data Base course. Keep in mind that this course is aimed at "learing the data," and not to teach you how to use GQL or any other querying tool. The sophisticated useage of GQL is explained in the user manuals that accompany the purchase of the product.
