Query is a synonym for ask.
Request is a synonym for ask.
We are now making request requests?
This is redundant and is not needed.
- layer8 5y ago“Request” and “query” are not synonymous. A query is a request for information. A request can also be a request for action.
- indymike 5y agoYou just used request to define request. This isn't working.
- layer8 5y agoI didn’t, look closely.
- indymike 5y ago"A request can be a request..."
- layer8 5y agoI didn‘t define request, I gave examples of possible kinds of requests. There are requests for information, and there are requests for action (and there may potentially be still other kind of requests — it’s an open enumeration). My point is that queries are requests for information, and not requests for action. Therefore "query" is a proper subset of "request", and thus not every request is a query.
