Queries in "M"

[This content is no longer valid. For the latest information on "M", "Quadrant", SQL Server Modeling Services, and the Repository, see the Model Citizen blog.]

Queries are functions that operate on collections. Queries applied to collections of entities generate T-SQL CREATE VIEW and CREATE FUNCTION statements.

“M” provides LINQ-like query syntax, and adds two shorthand features called selectors and projectors that make authoring simple queries more concise.

Queries can also be used in Quadrant: you can type in queries in a workpad's query bar to customize your view of the data.
