Just a point of clarification: RT has something called TicketSQL and
while "SQL" is in its name, it is not SQL.

That being said, you want the queue's name.

I would build some of the query with the search builder:

Search -> Tickets -> New Search

Add a few predicates to your search and then click Advanced. You'll
see exactly what TicketSQL RT uses.
