What is a "querie"? You see it all the time at the bottom of a page after you click on it. Scroll to the bottom of this page and you'll see it. "This page was generated in .073 seconds with 23 queries. I don't have a clue.  Bill T.

A fancy name for a question.
It maybe system to system requests for things like ISP's and validations.

"Queries" is the plural of "query".  (drop the "y" add an "ies")   And as others have said it means asking a question.   Use in the computer industry probable became wide spread with Sequel Query Language (SQL).     I don't know if pre-SQL databases used "query" for "search" back in the golden-olden days of big iron.

Alf's close - this Post Reply page for example when I wrote this said 0.026 seconds with 15 queries. This means one or more files in the database(s) were hit with 15 requests for information in order to bring up this page. This possibly includes queries for validating me making the request in the first place, pulling up user IDs and accompanying avatars for each poster so far, etc.

Since I don't know the DB schema (the way the databases are organized, it's hard to tell exactly what was being queried and why.

Queeries are little critters with wings that turn into Queers.
