Examples

local tKey, tOperator, tValue, tTable, tTarget, tResultFormat, tOutputA

# Table name: clients
# Keys: firstName, lastName, age, income

put "firstName" into tKey
put "=" into tOperator
put "Jenny" into tValue
put "clients" into tTable
put "cloud" into tTarget

# recordData output format
put "recordData" into tResultFormat
# OR
# recordList output format
put "recordList" tResultFormat


put cdb_Query(tKey,tOperator,tValue,tTable,tTarget,tResultFormat) into tOutputA

# recordData Output: 
# tOutputA["87654321-abcd-1234-cdef-1234567890ab"]["cdb"] - metadata
#                                                  ["firstName"] - "Jenny"
#                                                  ["lastName"] - "Smith"
#                                                  ["age"] - 46
#                                                  ["income"] - 100000

# recordList Output:
