This article will cover some EntitySchemaQuery basics and some samples for performing a query for a single object, given it's Id, and also a...

Lookup columns in bpm'online store an ID value, not the actual text. For example, the City lookup doesn't store the City name itself, it stores the ID value for the selected City from the City lookup table.
