You use this option to define a simple source query.  You can use this query to define an import source that combines various tables belonging to a selected source database or various files of the same type (.txt, .csv, and so forth).  You select any number of tables in the selected source database and then define the relationships between selected tables.  You can then use the defined query when creating a link.  You use the Source Query Wizard to define a source query.
