Making Queries
DQL - DataView Query Language
A DQL Query consists of several parts:
- Exactly one Query Type that determines what your Query Output looks like
- None or one FROM statement to pick a specific tag or folder (or another source) to look at
- None to multiple other Data Commands that help you filter, group and sort your wanted output
For example, a Query can look like this:
```dataview LIST ```
which list all files in your vault.
Everything but the Query Type is optional
The only thing you need for a valid DQL Query is the Query Type (and on CALENDARs, a date field.)
A more restricted Query might look like this:
```dataview LIST FROM #poems WHERE author = "Edgar Allan Poe" ```
which lists all files in your vault that have the tag #poems and a field named author with the value Edgar Allan Poe. This query would find our example page from above
