Introduction

The dataquery extension is a Data Provider for the Tesseract framework. It can be used to query the local TYPO3 database and return the resulting recordset in a standardized data structure (SDS) of type “recordset” or “idlist”.

It is designed to make it easy to write SQL by automating the handling of all the TYPO3 standard mechanisms, like enable fields and language overlays.
