ReportHi:
When you're reviewing and reporting on data found within Business Central, what is the difference between a "Page" and a "Query".
I'm used to simply tables and fields.
Thanks!

Hi, Query is similar to SQL query and is the most efficient way to collect data in BC.
But its purpose is only to collect data, so the number of triggers is small and processing data is not as convenient as Page.

In addition, Query cannot be searched and opened directly in the UI, and some means are required, such as the following, or added to an action.
In addition, Query is often used in combination with Page, Report, etc.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Hi John,
A Page in Business Central is a user interface for displaying and manipulating data from a table. Pages can be customized by developers to add new fields or modify existing ones, and they are used to modify, create, and delete records, also pages can be filtered, sorted, and searched to display specific records.
Query, on the other hand is a database object used to retrieve data from one or more tables in a specific way. It is like a saved search and can be used to filter records. Queries can be created by developers to extract data for reporting etc. Unlike pages, queries are not user interface components means they are not designed for data entry or modification..
