SQ reads data from the sources when the informatica server runs the session. data to the any other transformation is not allowed with out this SQ trans.
It has got other qualities also, it can be used as a filter.
 it can be used as a sorter and is also used to select distinct values.
it can be used as a joiner, if the data is coming from the same source.

In informatica source qualifier acts as a staging area, and it will create its own data types which are related to source data types

The most important significance of source qualifier is that it converts the datatypes (coming from a source) into informatica compatible datatypes.
Rest all properties like distinct, overide, filtering records can be achieved by other transformations of informatica as well.
