In a recent article, I introduced the Data API Builder (DAB) and explored its functionality, providing data professionals with a foundational understanding of how this innovative product can streamline their collaboration with front-end developers.

In this follow-up piece, I intend to delve deeper into the intricacies of DAB, particularly focusing on the REST API and demonstrating how to perform queries on the tables exposed from your database.

Before we proceed, its important to acknowledge that the official documentation for the REST API is lightly covered on Microsoft Learn. For detailed reference, you can check it out here:
