Requêtes

Requêtes is a term that can refer to several concepts, primarily related to requests or searches within different contexts. In computing, a requête typically refers to a query made to a database. This query is a specific instruction, usually written in a structured language like SQL (Structured Query Language), that asks the database to retrieve, modify, or delete data. For example, a user might make a requête to find all customers living in a particular city.

In the realm of information retrieval, such as when using a search engine, the term requête can also be used to describe the search terms a user enters. This is the user's request for information. The search engine then processes this requête to find relevant documents or web pages. The effectiveness of the search often depends on how well the requête is formulated.

More broadly, requête can simply mean a formal request or petition. This could be a request made in a legal setting, a business proposal, or any situation where one party asks another to do something. The context in which the word requête is used will determine its precise meaning, but it consistently implies a form of asking or demanding something.
