Abstract
 This is a course on the Virtual Observatory's main query language
ADQL (short for Astronomical Data Query Language), which is a SQL
dialect standardised so users do not have to learn new languages each
time they want to use a new resource. We also introduce the basic
aspects of the Table Access Protocol TAP, which transports ADQL
queries, their results as well as the metadata necessary to write
meaningful queries.

The course comes with many exercises, most of which also have
solutions. We hope it is suitable for both self-study and as lecture
notes in teacher-led situations.
