DBSimpleQuery is mainly designed to have a simple database interface in your PHP event coding. For instance to support some processing, to verify something etc. Internally DBSimpleQuery is used to maintain the audit-trail, or to perform role-based access. If you use DBSimpleQuery in a query then the result set is always sequential. You cannot directly bind the result set to your form fields as this component is not data source aware.

Like the DBQuery component, the most important properties are ‘SQL’ en ‘Query’.
