Hello -
        I have a database that I created. I added data to it (that works). I
then try the first query:

        retrieve (info.all) 

that brings up everything fine 

        ------ BUT -----

when I try 

        retrieve (info.all) where name="casey"

I get the following error:
        
        WARN: Jul 12 00:26:12: type_id lookup of 362 failed

This is just a simple select statement. I do not understand why it fails to 
return data :(

What is wrong with what I am doing?

You've just forgotten to insert the class on which you run your query in front of the attribute name.
The right query string is

	retrieve (info.all) where info.name="casey"
