Abstract
The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can facilitate query comprehension that are constructed in a compositional manner. In accordance therewith, the query comprehensions can be assembled together in virtually in order without common requirements that force query operators of a query expression to follow ordering/syntactic rules. In addition, the architecture can provide for query expressions that arbitrarily composable and which can be terminated at any point. If the query expression terminates without a Select or Return clause at the end, the architecture can facilitate generation of an implicit Select or Return, and output results.
