Querying Analytics Data

SuiteScript SuiteQL analytics queries use SuiteAnalytics data source.

Introduction to SuiteScript SuiteQL Analytics

SuiteScript SuiteQL Analytics allows developers to perform complex data analysis and reporting using the SuiteAnalytics data source. This capability enables you to harness the full power of NetSuite's analytics in your SuiteScript applications, providing deep insights and enhancing decision-making processes.

Understanding SuiteAnalytics Data Source

The SuiteAnalytics data source is the backbone of SuiteQL Analytics. It provides access to a wide array of data stored within NetSuite, including transactions, records, and custom objects. By leveraging this data, you can create sophisticated queries to extract meaningful insights from your NetSuite environment.

Writing SuiteQL Analytics Queries

Writing SuiteQL analytics queries involves using SQL-like syntax to interact with the SuiteAnalytics data source. These queries can be integrated within SuiteScript scripts to automate data retrieval and reporting.

Executing SuiteQL Queries in SuiteScript

To execute SuiteQL queries within a SuiteScript, you utilize the query.runSuiteQL method. This function allows you to send your SQL query to the NetSuite database and retrieve the results programmatically.

Handling Query Results

Once you have executed your query, you need to handle the results effectively. The asMappedResults method transforms the query result set into a more manageable JavaScript object, which can then be used within your SuiteScript application.

Best Practices for SuiteQL Analytics

When using SuiteQL Analytics, consider the following best practices:

  • Optimize queries for performance by filtering data as much as possible.
  • Ensure queries are secure and do not expose sensitive data unnecessarily.
  • Regularly review and update queries to adapt to changes in your NetSuite data structure.
