The server experienced an unusually high load today. – In this sentence, unusually relates to how high the load was (far beyond the normal).
It was unusual for the server to slow down like that. – In this sentence, unusual refers to the situation. It does not modify a verb or an adjective.
A query is a question or request sent to a database to get information or perform an action. For example:
The application sent a query to the database to fetch user details. – This means the app asked the database for specific information.
