<p>A <span class="italic">query</span> specifies a result table or an intermediate
result table. A query is a component of certain SQL statements. The three
forms of a query are the <a href="rbafzmstsubselect.htm#subselect"><span class="italic">subselect</span></a>, the <a href="rbafzmstmark.htm"><span class="italic">fullselect</span></a>,
and the <a href="rbafzmstintsel.htm"><span class="italic">select-statement</span></a>.
There is another SQL statement that can be used to retrieve at most a single
row described under <a href="rbafzmsthselin.htm#hselin">SELECT INTO</a>.</p>
