Queries without collections
===========================
Following is a query that returns a string value. The result string is contained in an array
because the result of every valid query is an array:
```js
RETURN "this will be returned"
[
"this will be returned"
]
```
Here is a query that creates the cross products of two arrays and runs a projection
on it, using a few of AQL's built-in functions:
```js
FOR year in [ 2011, 2012, 2013 ]
FOR quarter IN [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
RETURN {
"y" : "year",
"q" : quarter,
"nice" : CONCAT(quarter, "/", year)
}
[
{ "y" : "year", "q" : 1, "nice" : "1/2011" },
{ "y" : "year", "q" : 2, "nice" : "2/2011" },
{ "y" : "year", "q" : 3, "nice" : "3/2011" },
{ "y" : "year", "q" : 4, "nice" : "4/2011" },
{ "y" : "year", "q" : 1, "nice" : "1/2012" },
{ "y" : "year", "q" : 2, "nice" : "2/2012" },
{ "y" : "year", "q" : 3, "nice" : "3/2012" },
{ "y" : "year", "q" : 4, "nice" : "4/2012" },
{ "y" : "year", "q" : 1, "nice" : "1/2013" },
{ "y" : "year", "q" : 2, "nice" : "2/2013" },
{ "y" : "year", "q" : 3, "nice" : "3/2013" },
{ "y" : "year", "q" : 4, "nice" : "4/2013" }
]
```
