Query descriptor

The ReQON query descriptor is an object with specific attributes:

{
    '$db': 'imdb',
    '$table': 'movies',
    '$query': [],
}

$db

References a specific database.

ReQON	ReQL
{'$db': 'imdb'}	r.db('imdb')

This attribute is optional.

$table

Return all of the documents in the specified table of the default database.

ReQON	ReQL
{'$table': 'movies'}	r.table('movies')
{'$db': 'imdb', '$table': 'movies'}	r.db('imdb').table('movies')

This attribute is required.

$query

The query attribute is a sequence of terms that filter, manipulate, or aggregate the document sequence in some way. Each term in the sequence is a list of 1 or 2 items, where the first item is the name of the term, followed (optionally, depending on the term) by a list of arguments.

This attribute is optional; omitting this attribute is the same as fetching every document in the specified $table.
