What does the QUERY function of the Database Connector allow you to do?

The QUERY function of the Database Connector is designed specifically to retrieve information from a database that meets specified criteria. This functionality enables users to perform searches within the database based on conditions such as specific field values, ranges, or other criteria as defined in the query.

When using the QUERY function, developers can write SQL statements or utilize the interface provided by the Boomi platform to filter and select data efficiently. This capability is crucial for applications that require dynamic data retrieval based on varying user inputs or application logic.

In contrast to other functions like updating or deleting records, the focus of the QUERY function is solely on fetching data without altering the underlying database entries. Thus, it serves as an essential tool for applications that need to display or process data without risk of modifying or losing existing records.
