For the same reasons you'd want to use QUERY SELECTION.


There are a couple feature requests for this on the 4D Forum (I made one before I realized someone else had already made one):

​The whole 'query selection' thing is a 4D trope I've just gotten used to
and is more or less consistent within the 4D eco system.

QUERY (...)

Kirk,



1 - Sets are your friends..... (this is what 4D does internally anyway)

2 - You can mix QBA and normal queries

3 - to use a French expression - "Why would you want to do that ??"

I just noticed this. Is it because of some structural reason there can't be QUERY SELECTION BY ATTRIBUTE or did it just get overlooked in the excitement of making the thing work in the first place?
