A query is a short pitch you make to an agent, usually just one page. It is your chance to introduce yourself and your book. The query also asks for either a full book proposal (for non-fiction) or the first pages of your book (for fiction).
Unlike a SQL query, which is a single statement or entity, a SQL script is a collection of two or more SQL statements. Its purpose is to group related statements together to accomplish a more complex goal.
Essentially, a query letter is a way to introduce yourself and your work to a literary agent or editor. It is a letter you send to convince agents or editors that you have a project that not only will interest them but also make them money. If they like your query, they will ask to see your work.
As with a query letter, your primary goal with your synopsis is to succinctly summarize your manuscript in a way that intrigues literary agents. A synopsis gives you more room than a query letter: Typically, a synopsis should be 500 words, or around two pages, unless the literary agent specifies another length.
Whereas the query letter focuses on the whole picture, meaning you, the agent, and your manuscript, the synopsis is concerned with your manuscript alone. In essence, a synopsis is a one-to two-page description of the entire plot of your book, including the ending.

The short version of your book synopsis should be 1-2 pages (most book agents agree on that). However, agents dont always agree on the best length for the long version of a book synopsis. If you write a long book synopsis that is five pages, double-spaced, that will satisfy most literary agents.
Some editors ask authors questions in the editorial queries (the comments an editor makes on a ms.) For these editors, a typical query/comment might be, What are you trying to accomplish here? or Do you mean for Martha to sound so cruel?
