Wow, sounds like a tough sell for a SQL/Excel analyst to get their head around. From what I understand it's what you use in Wave to do more than the basics.
Je cherche à vous aider à atteindre vos objectifs #code en #français . My goal is to help you work faster by sharing what I know about #SQL, #Python, and #Salesforce in #English and #French
That sounds more like SAQL, I think, which I haven’t played with because Wave (now “Einstein Analytics?”) costs extra and we don’t have it. But it DOES have a query language that lets you join at your leisure, I believe I recall from presentations on it. Looked way more like SQL, I believe. SOQL comes free as part of Salesforce for basic queries against the tables you create. SOQL is mostly custom-join-free, I suppose, both for simplicity and to keep non-DB-type amateurs from executing long-running cross-join queries on a server shared with other companies.
Hmmm I’m going to have to investigate the SOQL/SAQL a bit more. It sounds like I’ll be supporting analysts using one of them. It would be good to know which one!
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
