How do I verify an answer from iDBQuery?

Verifying an iDBQuery answer takes seconds, and there are three complementary ways to do it.

• Check the citations. Every figure is linked to the specific source rows it came from. Click through and you see the actual data — the transactions, records or document pages that make up the number.
• Read the SQL. iDBQuery shows the exact query it wrote. An analyst can confirm the joins, filters, groupings and date ranges are what the question intended.
• Re-run or adapt it. Because iDBQuery queries your live data rather than a stale export, you can run the same or a modified query and get the same result, or cross-check it in another tool.

For most people, the citation is enough: if you ask 'top 5 overdue invoices' and want to be sure, you open the result and see the five invoices with their amounts and due dates. For a formal sign-off, an analyst reads the SQL to confirm 'overdue' was defined correctly. This layered approach means a non-technical user and a technical reviewer can both trust the same answer for their own reasons. Verification is built into the workflow, not a separate audit you have to organise later.
