The third example provides a more complex Query in which the results are filtered on multiple criteria.

Example 3: Get PersonType.LastName, AnimalType.Name, ScheduleType.Period where a person has a pet and the animal has a feeding schedule and the person has a Zipcode = ‘02138’ and (the Schedule.Period is Daily or Hourly) and Amount to feed is > 10.

Table B.9 describes the NodeTypeDescription parameters used in the example.
