Queries

Application code uses a generated client to filter, order, join, include, create, update, and delete data.

The client sends a structured query to Rad. Rad checks it against the current schema, chooses how to access the data, and returns the shape requested by the client. An include can therefore return related records as nested objects without rebuilding a flat join result in application code.

The structured query contract is called LIR. Most application developers do not need to write it directly. Read the LIR reference when building tooling or working on the query engine.
