RQL Basics

RQL is a query language built for the way you actually work with application state.

What is RQL?

RQL is pipeline-based. You start with your data and chain transforms to filter, aggregate, and shape it.

Unlike SQL, RQL reads top to bottom. Each line takes the output of the previous one and transforms it. No nested subqueries, no inside-out reading.

Every query starts with a data source, then you chain transforms:

Each transform operates on the result of the one above it. One line, one step.

The from transform tells RQL where your data lives.

Pull data from a table:

Use inline arrays when you want to prototype without creating a table:

These are the literal types you can use in RQL:
