SAQL for Beginners
Kristi Brown
Salesforce Architect
If you’re just starting out in the world of Einstein Analytics, then “SAQL” is a term you may hear fairly often. SAQL? You mean SOQL right? Nope, you heard it right! SAQL is the Salesforce Analytics Query Language, and while it is similar in many ways to SOQL (Salesforce Object Query Language) and even SQL (Structured Query Language), its different. And its powerful. And you need to learn it right now.
During this session, we walk through some basics of SAQL and share how Kristi learned (and is still learning) to use SAQL to transform the way we look at and use data.
