<span class="lead">When I first encountered [GlideQuery](https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/xanadu-api-reference/page/app-store/dev_portal/API_reference/GlideQuery/concept/GlideQueryGlobalAPI.html)</span>, for a brief moment I naively assumed it was a complete modern replacement for GlideRecord and I got really excited. But I was quickly disappointed when I learned it's just a wrapper for GlideRecord. As such, I thought it must have all the same drawbacks and limitations, and for a while I admit I was an unbeliever and a naysayer. But, as I learned more, I realized GlideQuery is one of the best things that ever happened to ServiceNow. I've been using it exclusively for nearly two years and I hope through this new series of articles I can convince you to switch if you haven't.

Before I talk about GlideQuery, though, I want to begin the series with a preface of sorts (hence, "part 0") to enumerate and explain the downsides and imperfections of GlideRecord. Why have I been hoping for years something new would come along? Isn't GlideRecord fine? If it ain't broke, why fix it?
