Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and methodology for resource query management. The system includes a resource manager, a query engine and a filter component. The system facilitates construction and management of a resource query across resource type(s) that may be similar, different, incongruent and/or distinct. Accordingly, an SQL environment is leveraged to perform efficient, complex and intensive queries and/or operations using resource query constraint(s) from a resource constraint(s) store and the filter component over large set(s) of resources from the resource pool.
