Class PREDATOR.Query 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----PREDATOR.Query
public class Query
extends Object
This class embodies a "query", which can also be a non-query statement, such as an update statement or commands like TRANS begin or list rels. All PREDATOR queries are phrased in a language, which identifies the database engine responsible for processing the query. The relational engine has the language "SQL", and the default engine has the language "XXX". Query objects can only contain one logical query. For example: 
 Query Q = new Query("SELECT I.picture FROM Images I");
is acceptable, whereas 
 Query Q = new Query("TRANS begin; SELECT I.picture FROM Images I; TRANS commit;");
is not.
