[**query**](QueryApi.md#query) | **POST** /v1/query | Execute SQL query
## query
> models::QueryResponse query(query_request, x_database_id)
Execute SQL query
Execute a SQL query scoped to a database. A database is the only window into catalogs: the query sees only that database's auto `default` catalog plus any catalogs explicitly attached to it. Select the database with EITHER the `X-Database-Id` header OR the `database_id` body field (exactly one must be given; if both are sent and disagree, that's a 400). Use standard Postgres-compatible SQL; reference the default catalog as `default.<schema>.<table>` (or just `<schema>.<table>` / `<table>`) and attached catalogs by their alias. Results are returned inline and a `result_id` is provided for later retrieval via the Results API. Set `async: true` to execute asynchronously — returns a query run ID for polling. Optionally set `async_after_ms` to attempt synchronous execution first, falling back to async if the query exceeds the timeout.
### Parameters
Name | Type | Description | Required | Notes
------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | -------------
**query_request** | [**QueryRequest**](QueryRequest.md) | | [required] |
**x_database_id** | Option<**String**> | Database id to scope the query to. Required unless the `database_id` body field is set; if both are present they must match. Only that database's catalogs are visible during planning. A malformed value is a 400; an unknown database id is a 404. | |
