Difference between question and query

Hi All

What is the difference between query and question?

Can we use it interchangeably?

Query is more technical. If I want to write an article for a magazine, I send in a query, in which I describe the article and ask if they would be interested. In the realm of computers and databases, I submit queries to the system to get reports.

1.Question came from word quest (meaning is search).
