Simple Queries
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
{% hint 'warning' %}
|
|
It is recommended to use [**AQL**](../aql/) instead.
|
|
{% endhint %}
|
|
|
|
Simple queries can be used if the query condition is straight forward, i.e., a
|
|
document reference, all documents, a query-by-example, or a simple geo query. In
|
|
a simple query you can specify exactly one collection and one query criteria. In
|
|
the following sections we describe the JavaScript shell interface for simple
|
|
queries, which you can use within the ArangoDB shell and within actions and
|
|
transactions. For other languages see the corresponding language API
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
You can find a list of queries at [Collection Methods](data-modeling-documents-document-methods.html). |
