Guided Lesson: 

Intelligence gathering has occurred throughout history. 
New word "query"- A database query is a piece of code (a query)
that is sent to a database in order to get information back from

the database. Queries can be saved. You can also "filter" information
in a database to find information that meets certain conditions,
such as all students, who are older than 13 years old.

There are some questions we covered today.
To put data in a particular order is to sort.
Ascending is small to large, A-Z order.
Descending is large to small, Z-A order.
Two examples of connector words are OR and AND.

A feature that displays records that meet one or more specific 
criteria or condition is called a filter or query.
