SAQL Overview

The SAQL language is a real-time query language that enables ad hoc analysis of data that’s stored in datasets.

SAQL is currently available through a pilot program. Any unreleased services or features referenced in this or other press releases or public statements are not currently available and may not be delivered on time or at all. Customers who purchase our services should make their purchase decisions based upon features that are currently available.

Note

A SAQL script consists of a sequence of statements that are made up of keywords (such as filter, group, and order), identifiers, literals, or special characters. Statements can span multiple lines and must end with a semicolon. SAQL is procedural, which means that you describe what you want to get from your query. Then, the query engine decides how to serve it efficiently. SAQL is compositional. Every statement has a result, and you can chain statements together. SAQL is influenced by the Pig Latin programming language, but their implementations differ and they aren’t compatible.
