Best Answer

A boolean query is a query that uses a boolean conditional.

E.g., an overtime formula would be

(hours-40)(hours>40)

The boolean expression would multiply the first result by 1 if hours is greater than 40, and, by 0 otherwise. This would prevent a negative overtime calculation.

The result would be the same as

=if(hours>40, hours-40,0)

A type of search allowing users to combine keywords with operators such as AND, NOT and OR to further produce more relevant results. For example, a Boolean search could be "hotel" AND "New York". This would limit the search results to only those documents containing the two keywords.

What is the difference between an ''or'' query and an ''and'' query?

It is the same difference between an OR Boolean and AND Boolean. In an OR query, you are looking for something that matches one of several possible values, while in an AND query, you are looking for something that matches all of several possible values. -- Find the first name of anyone in the USA, or have a last name starting with A. SELECT FirstName FROM Contacts WHERE Country = 'USA' OR LastName LIKE 'A%' -- Find the first name of anyone in the USA that also has a last name starting with A SELECT FirstName FROM Contacts WHERE Country = 'USA' AND LastName LIKE 'A%' The difference between these two is that the first one will return people outside the USA if their last name starts with an A, while in the second query, only people inside the USA with the last name starting with A will be returned. AND will always return the same or fewer values than OR.
